Cleanup at GKN Aerospace in Garden Grove, where a compromised chemical tank was at risk of exploding late last month prompting a massive evacuation of nearby residents, continues this week, with Orange County Health Care Agency officials warning that \u201ctemporary, intermittent odors\u201d might occur.<\/p>\n

The compromised tank, which was filled with methyl methacrylate, forced the evacuation of around 50,000 residents in Garden Grove and surrounding cities during the Memorial Day weekend after a cooling system failed, leading the temperature in the tank to reach dangerous levels before a crack formed, releasing pressure and bringing the temperature back down, officials said.<\/p>\n

The Orange County Health Care Agency, working with the South Coast Air Quality Management District and GKN Aerospace, planned to pump out the chemical from the tank on Thursday, June 4, and Friday, June 5, officials said in a statement. The chemical would then be put into sealed trucks and taken away for disposal.<\/p>\n
