After receiving many complaints about a manufacturing odor, the San Marcos City Council will discuss a Clean Air Ordinance.
The councilmembers will consider an ordinance that would provide supplemental regulations for the emission of air contaminants and controlling or abating air pollution in their regular meeting Tuesday. The ordinance would create associated offenses and penalties as well.
The item came about after the city received numerous complaints about a local manufacturing business and the odor associated with their manufacturing process.
According to the agenda materials, the business is not violating any waste water requirements and there are no enforceable municipal air quality ordinances in place to allow staff to address the odor issue from an enforcement perspective.
