1600: EPA Tackles Fertiliser Plant Odour Issue - Community Response

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has added a new
condition to the operating licence of a Kanmantoo-based
fertiliser producer, following numerous complaints about odour
from the community.

Neutrog will be required to have an air quality specialist
analyse odour monitoring and modelling data and will have to
identify measures by September 9 to take to reduce the
smell.

A two-decade long campaign against Neutrog by community
spokesperson Peter Roberts has ramped up in recent months,
particuarly following a major expansion of the plant in the past
two years, which he says has created a 'stentch' that
significantly worsens the lifestyles of residents and
businesses.

He joins Jennie Lenman to discuss the issue and respond to the
latest EPA directive.
