The High Acres team spoke regarding today’s odor notifications.
Review of field operations determined:
• No issues of incoming waste materials being received or managed
• Working face remains contained and cover is adequate
• Landfill gas control devices are all operational
• Odor neutralizer systems are operational
• No issues with Rail volume
We have concluded the two things that are different today:
• The active working face today was in an area that we have not been operating in months
• Today we processed (screened) a year's worth of organic compost (food waste collected from the 3 local universities)
Knowing that we’re experiencing odors that are uncharacteristic of normal operations, we have taken the following additional odor mitigation measures:
• Added odor neutralizer to the water truck that is used for dust control
• Deployed granular odor neutralizers on the working face
• Advanced daily working cover throughout the day
• Increased odor neutralizer concentration in the water-based misting system
• Our operations team will continue to investigate and monitor to determine any additional odor control measures that can be applied or utilized
