Irvine may weigh regulating the trucks of the All American Asphalt plant at its next City Council meeting. Residents say the plant spreads noxious fumes into the air.
Irvine Residents Share Asphalt Plant Concerns
Residents of Irvine, California, were set to gather at city hall on July 28 to share concerns about an asphalt plant they say is bringing toxic emissions into nearby neighborhoods.
The meeting was arranged by Irvine Councilman Larry Agran, the only publicly elected critic of All American Asphalt, an asphalt-mixing plant in North Irvine.
Organizers said the rally was in response to a lack of council action on the subject, since the issue has failed to be agendized. In Irvine, agendizing an item requires two councilmembers, and Agran has been unable to get a second.

Irvine Residents Call on City Council to Address ‘Public Health Crisis’
IRVINE, Calif. A group of Irvine residents gathered outside city hall on May 25 to protest a variety of issues, including some related to an asphalt-mixing plant.
Various activist groups attended the rally, which was formed by the Stop Toxic Asphalt Pollutants (STAP) group, an Irvine-based organization seeking relief from the smell of burnt rubber. Members of the group said they’re worried about the health effects of air pollution from All American Asphalt, which is located close to Irvine neighborhoods including Orchard Hills.
Kim Konte, who is helping to lead the charge against the pollutants, said she’s tired of being ignored by the Irvine City Council about an issue that is affecting multiple neighborhoods and causing health issues.
