The South Coast Air Quality Management District did not provide Baker Commodities Inc. a fair hearing when the Vernon animal rendering facility was ordered to stop operations until the agency concludes it has complied with air quality rules and permit conditions.
Baker Commodities failed to keep its facility clean and enclose portions of its facility where they processed animal material, according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
A fiery collision between a big rig and at least two other vehicles led to an oil spill that closed several lanes of the northbound Long Beach (710) Freeway for hours in Commerce Friday morning.
