Something is rotten in the suburbs, say neighbors living near food producers that emit big odors.
Residents in Mount Prospect, Des Plaines and St. Charles are up in arms about odors wafting from nearby food producers. And some worry that local governments, eager to attract industry, are turning up their noses at concerns.
For four years, area residents including Mary Beth Stillmaker have been urging Mount Prospect officials to address their concerns. She has been critical of the village's response, adding that the use was too intense to begin with. But in the meantime, Village Manager Michael Cassady said the odors at Prestige"have been more consistent and pronounced. Virtually every time they're running, we're getting complaints from adjacent neighborhoods and businesses."
Smithfield plant engineer Whit Divilbiss and plant manager Ashton Williams told committee members they have made great strides in recent months to mitigate the odor. Divilbiss said the smell results from meat in the wastewater and liquid waste created during many of the plant processes, which must go through the plant's wastewater treatment facility.
