Description:
I was outside, and the flare was fluttering. There is also a strong smell coming from the tanks near the back end of the property. It gets stronger the closer I get to the tanks.

6/3/2025 Update: CalGEM has been checking the facility periodically. Found holes on tanks and were the cause of the odors. Sent a cease and desist back in July of 2023 (order 1338). Out of compliance since then and looking for additional penalties due to the ongoing issues. Order Link https://www.conservation.ca.gov/calgem/Pages/Division_Orders.aspx Move issue to DOJ for further enforcement. Daniel, SJVAPCD: a NOV 5035213 was issued for the tank leak.
