As some Irvine residents continue to protest smells emitting from the All American Asphalt Plant in north Irvine, the city council—which is seeking the plant’s relocation through a lawsuit—has asked for outside legal counsel to review their options, which also include taking over the location by eminent domain.
A legal settlement in response to the city filing a public nuisance lawsuit against the plant in 2020 has been proposed, but it does not force the plant to relocate, only requiring it to indicate where it could do so.
