MOSS LANDING, Calif. (KION-TV) - Monterey County has launched its new testing and monitoring dashboard for the Moss Landing Vistra fire.

The new Moss Landing battery Fire Dashboard provides a window into the ongoing testing of water, soil, and screening results since the aftermath of the January 17 fire. The dashboard uses geographic information system mapping to pinpoint the locations of the testing sites.

Results will be displayed when those visiting the site click on a testing spot from analysis, collection date, what materials were found, and other data.

Air samples are also being added to the dashboard, but will be released and updated in phases as more data is revealed.

The data collected is from the Environmental Protection Agency, California Department of Toxic Substances, Monterey County Environmental Health Bureau, and Santa Cruz County Environmental Health.

The grassroots community group Never Again Moss Landing contributes to the screening data portion of the online dashboard.

The new dashboard can be accessed at the Moss Landing Battery Fire Dashboard link on the Monterey County Health Department website.
