Odor in knoxville and Loisianna. No biosolids not guarentee cure.






As knox county's expert explained Tuesday the odor from composting is not necessarily from biosolids. The composting operation if not ran properly can cause odors.
It is well known in the solway community of the odor problems from this facility. Even NRR's own consultant recorded a "pungent sour-type odor" 500 feet from the entrance. "See highlighted yellow in document below" click on document to enlarge.


I can not think of a time in years when the solway residence were not upset about the odor. Their have been public meetings, multiple petitions, news stories, letters from several residents, etc.. Turns out that NRR has a similar history in Louisiana as documented in the documents below, In L.A., NRR without biosolids still received a multitude of complaints associated with composting.
