CEO Mark Groden of Skyryse emphasized the City's status as a regional economic powerhouse, especially in the tech sector, sharing "When you’re looking for the talent to ship an aerospace product, something that’s been certified by the FAA, there’s nowhere better in the entire world, in my opinion, than El Segundo, California.

Below are the most recent updates on the situation with the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant, which is owned and operated by the City of Los Angeles

• The City has received a draft proposal from Dr. Stenstrom on his advisory role to the City regarding Hyperion. Staff is evaluating the proposal to ensure the scope of work matches City objectives and desired outcomes.
• On October 22, the City submitted a letter to AQMD, highlighting additional concerns to be addressed at the next AQMD hearing board meeting on November 19, 2024.
• Hyperion reports that there is a recent, large bloom of red algae present in the waters, from Santa Monica Bay to Marina del Rey. These algae can cause odors, and can stay anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of months, depending on the wind factor. Odors resulting from this red algae are not the result of activity at Hyperion and they may not be entirely alleviated by odor mitigation measures in place at the plant. 

Additional details and documents continue to be shared on elsegundo.org/hyperion and at future City Council meetings. Sign up to receive the latest Hyperion news and updates from the City of El Segundo directly to your inbox.
