Please Help Me Get Rid of This Smell so I Can Do Other Stuff 

10:30 PM Thursday, March 12. Just took the dogs out and there is a VERY bad chemical smell right now. Lake Ola Drive.

I smelled a faint bad odor at 7:30 and then again at 10;30 last night. But faint.

For the record, I have the porch door open now and do not detect a smell. Near Tangerine Post Office.


8:30 AM Friday, March 13. There was a slight whiff of odor outside of Anuvia's gate. We saw no smoke coming from the stack. We smelled nothing much at Shelley's Septic Tank's gates but when we pulled in a bit to turn around, there was a strong "farty" smell. I'm waiting for the photo we got there. We also believe that we smelled the Mushroom plant while we were on 441. There were complaints of odors on Lake Ola Drive. 

My son says it smells like giant fart this morning. I have to agree.

It’s so sad that our children have to grow up with bad air quality. My two year old always asks before going outside “ Is it stinky? “ Definitely a sad situation.

 I smelled the smell at 9:57 am at the corner of 4th and Donnelly in Mount Dora. It smelled like fertilizer and poo. All I want is fresh air.


Re: The Mount Dora Waste Water Treatment Plant Substation on 441: Pretty sure this is Renninger's main stinker!

Tour of Mount Dora Water Water Reclamation Facility: Guest Post by Amber Perretti

  "Report from my 12/17/20 tour of the Waste Water Plant" The Mt Dora Water Reclamation Facility on 441 and SR 46 has been in operation for approximately 12-15 years. Its’ primary function is to convert sewer wastewater into reclaimed water for irrigation purposes. The facility is operating at half its current capacity and is master-planned to be built to double its current size. Grease trap waste and septic tank waste are NOT accepted at the facility. Sludge (a compost material) extracted at the end of the reclaim process is hauled off by Shelly’s Septic for additional treatment and reuse as fertilizer. This sludge has no smell when it leaves the treatment plant site. After touring the facility, the only step that has odors is the "headworks" where the wastewater comes in and the "surge tank" where the wastewater is stored for processing. The current odor control system is carbon filtration. The carbon filters are changed out as needed. While carb...

The Saga of Drainage into Lake Ola

Image
From:  Ned Bowers  Sent:  4/19/2020 To:  Recipients Redacted Subject:  Orange County Permit Application - Drainage into Lake Ola As everyone is aware, I have been in a fight to protect my property rights for over 10-years.  In December 2019, the case went through a 5-day bench trial.  Fees the County will eventually pay are north of $800,000 and the damages trial will tack on another $200,000.  That may be a reason to never oppose the government.  Just allow them to do as they please no matter the harm.  Be it known, I support good government.  I only oppose corruption in government along with a coverup. The defense was terrible; embarrassing. But suing the government is every bit as difficult as people say.  This was no exception.  The first trial on October 22, 2018, was a complete bust.  Part of the blame was that, unknown to me, Orange County solicited St Johns for a "permit" and rec...
