| Abstract/Contents: | Presents "strategies for evaluating the potential for odor generation and neighborhood impact [includeing] air dispersion modeling and estimation of odor concentrations and flow rates from each source. Odor problems can be traced to one or more of four basic causes - composting process control; containment of odorous areas; odor control technology; and siting." These issues are considered important because "the potential for odor generation gives project opponents a basis to try to stop the construction of even properly sited and well designed facilities." Summarizes concerns in evaluating off-site odor impacts. Suggests a five-step process for evaluating prospective sites. Includes four case studies (Lewiston-Auburn, Maine; Yarmouth, Massacusetts; Tri-Town Septage Treatment, Massachusetts; and Interstate Septic Systems, Inc., Maine). These studies examine the siting and technology at each compost plant. Found "successes with large enclosed composting facilities when residential development is no closer than 1,000 feet, and preferably fewer than a few dozen homes or businesses within 2,000 feet. However, these guidelines should be used cautiously because every project is different, and each site has its own topography and meterology. Each site must be evaluated on its specific conditions." |
