Summary
A city staff member reported that AQMD logged 17 odor complaints about the Hyperion facility over two weeks, and issued a notice of violation after a Jan. 23 power outage; bulkheads were installed Jan. 28 ahead of a gate replacement.
A city staff member reported that the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) received 17 odor complaints about the Hyperion facility over the previous two weeks, with a single-day high of five complaints on Jan. 29.
The staff member said AQMD issued a notice of violation on Jan. 23 for failing to timely notify AQMD of a power outage at the facility. "So, yes, they had a power outage on, January 23, and it impacted some equipment in the truck load out area," the staff member said.
The staff member also reported that on Jan. 28 bulkheads were installed in "primary battery c" in preparation for a gate replacement. "Over the last 2 weeks, AQMD said they received 17 odor complaints, with a single day high of 5 complaints on January 29," the staff member said. "So that that's a brief Hyperion report at this point."
No formal city action, vote or further direction was recorded in the meeting transcript. The staff member did not specify any additional enforcement steps, timelines for the gate replacement, or whether the facility provided a separate incident report to the city. Contact information for AQMD or Hyperion statements were not provided in the transcript.
