The Environmental Protection Agency has announced plans to spend $36 million to reduce the risks posed by the world's largest deposit of banned DDT about 200 feet below the water off the Palos Verdes Peninsula, near Los Angeles. DDT from this site has been implicated in all sorts of problems for seabirds, particularly the colonies of Bald Eagles in the Channel Islands. The EPA plan doesn't really involve removing the DDT, but rather covering the most contaminated 320 acres with a layer of silt.
