Under the new Condition 81 of the August 27, 2024 Modified Stipulated Order for Abatement in Case No. 6177-4, Chiquita Canyon, LLC (Chiquita) is required to notify the community (i) if any individual control device has downtime which is anticipated to last 30 minutes or more or once any downtime for an individual control device reaches 30 minutes of downtime or (ii) if the downtime of any combination of landfill gas collection equipment results or is planned to result in a reduction of gas flow to control devices by 10% or more and the downtime is anticipated to last 30 minutes or more or once any downtime for such devices reach 30 minutes of downtime.
On Wednesday, November 13, 2024, because of Southern California Edison’s need to tie in power from the grid to the flare station, Chiquita may experience downtime of Flare 3 from 8am-5pm, for approximately 9 hours.
Chiquita does not anticipate any increased odors in the community during this downtime.
Chiquita continues to work to diligently comply with regulator orders.
