Zero Days Without A Smell Report

Check back for updates as reports come in-

Please note that reports are from a voluntary Facebook group and each report also represents an unknown number of individuals who are also aware of the smells that are permeating our neighborhoods. Thanks to Christine Moore's office, we are now able to document smell occurrences on a digital file.  

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



Smell Reports

1. This morning I thought one of the dogs pooped in the house. I looked all over but did not find any poop. I went on my walk and the poop smell was outside, I have cheap windows so it must have been filtering in. Lake Ola Drive and Earlwood, poop and chemical 3 or a 4. Got up to the post office and it was pure poop smell, 5 or 6. Got back home and pure poop, 5 or 6 and now I have a sore throat! I'm walking since I can't go to the gym but obviously walking is not healthy in Tangerine! Cross streets are US 441 and Lake Ola Drive.

 2. Anuvia notified that the smell is at a level of 2 out of 10. Cross streets are Lake Ola Drive and Earlwood. 

Other Business

1. I sent a text to Anuvia regarding the smell starting up and advised that the community is concerned that respiratory irritation is predisposing them to the Coronavirus. The responded, thanking me for the information.

 2. I wrote to The Mount Dora Buzz 3 days ago hoping they would come to our next meeting. I was disappointed to see the response that came today. It seems that they want their news prepackaged. Perhaps contacting them was a stretch but I didn't expect this response.

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...
