I would't put to much credence in this guys reporting. Glendale is a long way from LAX and had they been dumping from there to the airport we would have herd a lot more about this than we have. I believe ATC asked the if they needed to hold and dump to which they replied, no. They did not need to HOLD and dump. Don't believe there is any requirement to notify anyone when your going to dump fuel, Probably a good idea, but not a requirement..
