STRIPES GROUP LOS ANGELES TRIAL
Although a judge didn't rule in favor of the environmental group, evidence from the trial found at least one instance of "fireworks-related pollutants," pushing the regional water board to improve regulation of these shows over waterways.ĭebates about the environmental costs of fireworks - known to cause significant air pollution - have been ongoing across many states and countries in recent years, with increasing calls for better oversight, and in some cases, outright bans.

The catalyst for the new permit came from a federal lawsuit brought by environmental activists against Long Beach's Big Bang on the Bay, which claimed that the show had violated the Clean Water Act by discharging pollutants into Alamitos Bay. Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted a protective fireworks display permit in late May, which requires new best practices aimed at reducing plastics and other pollution that could fall into oceans or marinas from fireworks displays. The decisions come just a month after the L.A. In response to newly mandated environmental rules, several Fourth of July fireworks shows along Los Angeles County's coastline have been canceled.
