Los Angeles has canceled several Fourth of July fireworks shows that were scheduled to take place along the city’s coastline due to new environmental regulations.
The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted a countywide order that requires all fireworks vendors to obtain a permit for their public displays and encourages the use of biodegradable plastics as of May 25. The decision was made to curb ocean pollution caused by plastic debris following all fireworks shows.Most shows in the area will still occur through obtaining a permit, the Los Angeles Times reported.
“We cannot and will not risk the safety of our staff and the public to comply with the restrictive regulations,” CEO Jim Souza said. “The water board instituted the new regulations quickly and unilaterally, with little input from us, one of the largest and most experienced firework show producers in the nation.”
