Carthage odor focus of meeting today Missouri’s Air Conservation Commission is considering recommendations from an odor-control group impaneled by the DNR to study whether state odor rules should be changed. Though there was no consensus recommendation, the commission has discussed possible changes in the threshold that triggers a citation from the state.
Currently, odors must be detected at a 7-to-1 dilution ratio using DNR equipment that measures odors, but several members of the odor-control group called for a more stringent standard. The air commission at one point looked at a 4-to-1 dilution ratio but instead asked state officials to gather information on odor complaints at all levels, to determine at what point odor becomes a problem for nearby residents. Preliminary information on those measures should be available in October, Tippett Mosby said. The state panel also has discussed setting a lower threshold that would not trigger a state violation but would prompt the company to work with the state on a program to address the problem. Lawsuit Renewable Environmental Solutions, which converts poultry byproducts into crude oil and other materials, is the subject of a lawsuit filed a year ago by a Carthage resident. The suit argues that the plant should address its odor problems and compensate residents who have suffered from the smell.
