Ouch!

Jillian Dale, a five-year resident of Irvine who lives less than a 10-minute drive away from the factory, says the factory has been a constant presence the entire time she?s lived in the city. 

?Whenever we left the windows open?it smelled so bad, like something was burning,? Dale said. ?Sometimes it would be so bad we?d have to tape up under the vents to keep the smell out. I?d put towels under the doors, the garage in the morning would just completely smell like asphalt.?

?It?s just been a nightmare.?

All American Asphalt did not return multiple requests for an interview.

Since Sept. 2019 alone, residents have submitted over 700 complaints about the factory to the South Coast Air Quality Management District, the state agency in charge of regulating emissions for Southern California.

I thought everybody who bought in that area was aware of the asphalt facility. Isn't there a disclosure that OH residents get? Maybe someone who bought there can correct me if I'm wrong. Good luck with the lawsuits though!

"JANUARY UPDATE:
AIR SAMPLE SUMMARY:
Results are within typical background levels.  Sample results showed less than all published thresholds for compounds detected in laboratory results when compared to health risk reference exposure levels developed by the California Office of Environmental Health and Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). The reference levels developed by OEHHA are used by agencies and health risk managers to evaluate the hazard associated with exposure to a specific chemical contaminant and the impact it has on target organs in the human body."

Looks like those residents get the finger.

Lol, less than threshold on a measure designed for occupational safety for people working with the substance.

Nothing to see here homeowners, it?s in the threshold of levels allowable for someone hot mopping your roof or paving a new road.
