    Complaint Description and Writeup

    100's of acres of farm fields(growing corn) spreading human waste on the fields. Were told by the truck driver delivering that it was the treated waste from Chattanooga treatment plant. We are all on well water and we do not want it leaching into our well water. Have been doing this for more than three years. Someone had come out and told them there were no ordinances for smell and that they could use that on the fields for three years. She would like some resolution.

    WOH spoke with the closest neighbor. The possible impacts to well water were discussed along with the site permitting. Odor issues were discussed.
