Solar plant: A June 21 article in Section A about concerns over BrightSource Energy’s solar power plant at Ivanpah said that Cliff Ho, a scientist working for Sandia National Laboratories, had said that pilots observing the Ivanpah plant could be afflicted by flash blindness.

An article in the June 28 LATExtra section about criminal charges filed against metal recycling businesses accused of mishandling toxic waste omitted the word “put” from a statement by Los Angeles Councilwoman Jan Perry.
