The smell got a bit better for 2-3 months and now it’s awful and gaging for the citizens again. No clean air to breath on some days.
It cannot be healthy to breath for sometimes it smells like Sulphur and bad ammonia and that is bad for the lungs and asthma.
It affects everyone walking, jogging, baseball at Faulkner Park and all the Park area, and the surrounding neighbors within 2 miles of plant.

Yes it is an old plant and was built in the woods but the City has grown into a large city and it’s past due being updated.
The citizens should not have to pay for this update and being moved.
We need healthy air to breath and so do our children.
