The South Coast Air Quality Management District will consider July 12 whether to give the city of Los Angeles additional time to install a $1-million system to burn off gas generated by the Lopez Canyon landfill, where two workers were overcome by gas earlier this year.
AQMD staff members recommended that if the city does get an extension, a warning should be issued that the city will be taken to court if the new deadline is not met. The city has been given one six-month extension--to July 1--to install the system at its dump above Lake View Terrace.
