The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors declared a persistent “rotten-eggs” smell coming from a nearby river a local emergency.
The decision will expand resources to address the levels of hydrogen sulfide gas emanating from the Dominguez Channel that has caused the foul odor for at least four weeks. The county deployed a multi-agency response team to clean up the channel and bring “much-needed relief to affected communities.”
