We Have Odor Reports Today


Zero Days Without an Odor Report

A Note From the Editor

We are now able to report odors to the FDEP online. We still need to send an e-mail or call Orange County to report to them. Orange County is working on having an online system to report and it was supposed to be up this week. The virus is slowing things down. 

Odor Reports

Call and write e-mails when you smell the odors. Don't give up, that is what the offending businesses want us to do. The e-mail list is located at the bottom of the page. 










Online Odor Reporting for Orange County (under construction)

Good morning to those of you who have the luxury of breathing clean air,

This morning I had to travel South on 441. I had the car windows up.  As I got to Holly Estates the strong smell of human feces permeated my car.  As I got to Willow Street the smell was almost twice as strong.  At Jones Avenue it was overwhelming.  By Ponkan Road the smell had pretty much disappeared.

Over an hour later as I was returning home with the car windows up the smell was very strong as I approached Jones Avenue, was extremely strong at Willow Street, and could still be noticed at Holly Estates.  The wind is out of the WSW this morning.

I want to know how you people sleep at night.  Do you have no conscience?  This problem has been ongoing or many, many months now and we keep hearing that you are working on it but it takes time.  I can bet that if this was your neighborhood thee process would move much faster.
We are tired of being told it takes time.  Time has passed and it is time you get something done NOW!

 Best regards, 

 REDACTED

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...
