EPD received a request for assistance from Forsyth County in identifying the source of numerous (e.g. 100’s) of odor complaints they have been receiving in the area of the northern end of Ga Hwy 400 in Forsyth County.  In the area north of Hwy 369 (Brown’s Bridge Rd) up to Jot’em Down Road.  There is an Tyson (formerly American Proteins) Rendering Plant in the area, but the County claims they have not been able to determine the source of the odors. The odor is described as a putrid smell, possibly like septage, decaying animals, etc.
nearest WWTPs to see if they are land applying any biosolids to farmland in the area (may be available in Biosolids Management Plans).  Also maybe check with DOAg  (Jennifer Wren) to see if she is aware of anyone land applying soil amendments in the area.  Maybe we should also check with Hampton Creek WRF to make sure they are not discharging without a permit again.
