Elevated concentrations of heavy metals have been detected at the Elkhorn Slough Reserve by scientists following a recent fire at Vistra Moss Landing Power Plant and Energy Storage Facility.

Vistra responds to San Jose State's finding of a heavy metal spike in soils near their Moss Landing battery storage facility.

Scientists at San José State University said Monday that after the huge fire this month, they found unusually high levels of nickel, manganese and cobalt in the Elkhorn Slough.
