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

We rate today as four breaths of fresh air!

There was no odor until 8 pm and it was light to medium in some areas on the Northside of Lake Ola. It wasn't detectable in all areas. The wind was coming in from the Southeast to East today. 

No real news today

I sent an e-mail to Anuvia to ask if they're running because there's no smell ðŸ˜…and the wind is ESE. I know that they've been working with FDEP on the odor problem. Don't forget about the meeting on March 17, 2020, at 8 pm at the Tangerine Improvement Society building. [I never got an answer from them.]
There was a slight smell in front of Anuvia today


I hate to be the one to post this, but we got home from the gym a while ago and I smelled something. While walking the dog on Lake Street up to Earlwood, it was strong. And it stopped there. I smelled it all the way home. It was some kind of a burning smell, not that strong on Lake Ola Drive but as you go up the hill, you can really smell it.

I learned something tonight and that is the smell is stronger for those living on the higher side of the hill as you go up 441. I guess it's common sense but I'd never really thought about it before.

I took the dog out about 30 mins ago and felt a slight stench...faint and light but, still stinky. I’m on Martin’s Preserve [at the top of the hill] so, that makes sense.

Yes, you're up higher than REDACTED. I called her and when she went out to check she could smell it too.

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...
