A Barrio Logan biofuels company says it is working on the odor issues that neighbors have been complaining about for months.

Residents living near New Leaf Biofuels say the plant generates a stench so strong that it is uncomfortable to be outside.

The company says it now has a permit from the San Diego Air Pollution Control District to install odor reduction systems. “We appreciate the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District’s detailed process to determine the right solution,” said New Leaf Biofuel Founder and President Jennifer Case. “We’re happy to have this order in place and will begin work immediately to install the proper systems”

The Newton Avenue company collects used cooking oil from area businesses and distills it into diesel fuel. It has operated there since 2008.
