NEW BUSINESS
CONTINUING BUSINESS
Updates on Odor Complaints
Mr. Schweitzer said the orders are not as intense, but it still smells regularly. Especially during
the darker hours. He asked if all the rain affects the Landfill. Mr. Hackney stated he averages
10 tons of solids to 1 gallon of liquid, but the constant rainfall changes that ratio. Mr. Slocomb
also verified with Mr. Hackney that the Landfill currently has the most "open" surface areas that
could possibly be contributing to the ongoing smell. Mr. Albrecht agreed with Mr. Schweitzer's
assessment of the ongoing smell. Mr. Schweitzer agreed to send emails to the Committee
during "high smell" times of the day for documentation.
