During the summer break, as part of the Eaton Fire recovery, PUSD will remove fire-related contaminants impacting soil and trees in designated areas at San Rafael Elementary School following requirements from the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). PUSD has worked closely with environmental experts, arborists, and DTSC to assess fire-related contaminants impacting soil and trees and determine the appropriate next steps.
The work will take place while students, staff, and community are off campus. Restricted areas have remained closed since last year, and affected areas will be restored with clean soil and replacement trees to support safe, healthy school environments.
