The foul odor emanating from Dominguez Channel was declared a “public nuisance” at a special Carson City Council meeting on Oct. 11, with officials promising a reimbursement plan to help residents pay for air filters.

Mark Pestrella, LA County’s director of Public Works, said during the meeting that organic waste material drying out in the channel after low tide was the likely cause of the smell.
