Municipalities and nuisance odours
Regarding odours, munipalities play a by-law &
law ENFORCEMENT as well as a preventive PLANNING role. ENFORCEMENT
is active, PLANNING proactive. Odotech can help you do both.
Odour by-laws and regulations are often vague, incomplete
or non-existent. The municipality must then proceed on a case-by-case
basis to determine what is tolerable, and what constitutes a nuisance
odour. Odotech helps you do that objectively.
In the ACTIVE mode (compliance of existing facilities),
Odotech carries out the sampling, measurement and analysis required,
then it suggests solutions.
In the PROACTIVE mode (odour impact assessment and
planning of new facilities), Odotech makes it possible for you to
predict and reduce future problems with new plants, installations
or waste disposal sites.
The usual odour sources are:
- Industry
- Waste Disposal Sites
- Farms, Agribusinesses, Packers & Abattoirs
- Water Treatment Plants
Odotech can equip each source facility with a permanent,
automated odour monitoring system that enables the operator to continuously
adjust his operating processes in order to reduce nuisance odours.
This reduces or eliminates public complaints.
Odotech acts as an expert in disputes or litigation
pertaining to nuisance odours.
When facing an odour problem, do not hesitate…
