New Leaf Biofuels installed an expensive air filtration system last December to reduce the smell from their oil cooking operations but that has not quieted calls for the company to move out of Barrio Logan.
The future is uncertain for a biodiesel plant that’s been a flashpoint for angry neighbors in San Diego’s Barrio Logan neighborhood.
Air Pollution Control District officials issued citations and told the company to get the pungent odor out of the neighborhood’s air.A year after the first complaints, New Leaf, working under the direction of air quality officials, installed an activated charcoal filter system designed to take the smell in the cooking facility out of the air.
But that plan was shelved in the face of significant opposition from neighbors concerned the expansion would make it harder for the company to leave the area.Case heard from those neighbors at a public meeting in August, pledging not to seek permission for the pipeline and to look at the possibility of moving the cooking oil processing to another location.
Case said in her statement that the company only has positive intent for the neighborhood, but the neighborhood is not the only factor in the equation.
