As of Monday, the agency has issued seven violations to Lineage for &#8220;discharging such quantities of air contaminants to cause injury, detriment, nuisance or annoyance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">AQMD also sent the company a demand letter requiring it to submit an improved odor mitigation plan by Monday. Regulators say the plan must include steps to reduce downwind smells as rotting food is loaded into trucks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The fire, which broke out on June 17, has left some in Boyle Heights dealing with nauseating odors ever since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">L.A.
