Description:

At 9:30pm on Tuesday Oct 28 there was a strong skunk like stench in the area around 9th and Western ave. in San Pedro. My friend likes on Trotwood Avenue and has complained about this reoccurring, toxic smell for several years. He reported it to the air quality control district, fire dept. newspapers, etc. and no one cares. Air quality control says they do not have anyone who works nights so they will not respond and investigate. Last night at 2 am my son and I woke because the entire house smelled exactly like the stench I smelled at 9th and Western. We live in Rancho Palos Verdes near Marymount College. I know what actual skunk spray smells like, encounter it quite often in my back yard,and this smell that penetrated every inch of my house was skunk-like but not from a skunk. It is not almost 3pm and the smell is still lingering inside, and my eyes still burn from it. My friend on Trotwood in San Pedro was told by a neighbor that the refinery releases toxins that they are not supposed to at night. He said he was told this by someone who works there.
