Beachgoers run along the water in Redondo Beach, Calif., on June 22. The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to spend $36 million to clean up a giant DDT deposit in the ocean off Los Angeles, according to a June report. Montrose Chemical Corp. released 110 tons of the banned pesticide into the sewers from 1947 through 1971. The chemicals then flowed into the ocean off the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
