Document Description
The SCAQMD is developing a rule to reduce odors from facilities conducting rendering operations. Proposed Rule 415 is the result of an issue that was identified by the working group for the Clean Communities Plan in the pilot study area of Boyle Heights. The prevalence of odors from rendering facilities in Vernon, directly south of Boyle Heights, was of great concern to the working group. PR 415 will require existing rendering facilities to enclose certain rendering operations, install odor emission control equipment and carry out best management practices. In order to ensure that any potential significant adverse environmental impacts are identified and evaluated and that feasible methods to reduce or avoid any potential significant adverse environmental impacts associated with the proposed project are identified and evaluated, an environmental impact analysis was conducted based on one of the larger facilities that would be subject to the rule as a basis to estimated maximum foreseeable environmental impacts. The estimated construction/operation scenario analyzed was based on information provided by the facility of future construction activities/upgrades to current infrastructure and operation of control equipment/BMPs in order to comply with the proposed rule.
