Complaint Description and Writeup
Complaint Description and Writeup
Complainant states that there are dump trucks driving down the road and dumping sludge out into the land multiple times a day. The trucks do not have identifying markers / names / logos on them. The smell of the sludge is becoming disruptive to the surrounding community. The property is farmland located on Painter Rd in Bristol.
JABo: Confirmed that the site being land applied was Scott Thomas Farm-C and has Biosolids Land Application permit coverage with Inframark staff, I also relayed that there was strong odor at the site and encouraged actions that would address that. Spoke with the complainant and explained that the site has permit coverage and his concerns are unfortunately unable to be fully addressed due to them not being permit requirements (no odor limits). I was able to relay that Bristol is close to done applying at the site and ideally the odor will dissipate soon. I asked him to contact me should the odor persist.
