Deal sealed but fried rice will take time
The South Coast Air Quality Management District and 99 Ranch reached an agreement today. The market will install odor control equipment that is expected to eliminate the offensive smells.
But don't think you'll be able to buy that barbecued pork just yet.
The market first has to get approval by AQMD to construct the equipment. Then it has to get permission by the city. Then it has to buy and install the equipment. Then AQMD has to inspect the equipment and give the market a final ok before it can deep-fry, stir-fry and roast again.
Market officials hope this can be done by Thanksgiving. Roast duck and other Chinese dishes are popular during that time of the year.
As for the fish fry, a free service once offered in the seafood department, market officials were unsure when or if that service will resume.

Page 2 of the spec sheet says, "Determining the efficiency of odor control can be very subjective, as testing is usually conducted by the human nose. More scientific testing is available through ROG analysis, but this involves considerable costs"
