"To Whom it May Concern;
  I am trying to find out who I need to contact about the awful disgusting smell being emitted into our air in East Dublin, Ga (Laurens County) by The Darling Plant formally known as DarPro and Griffin Industries. The Smell can be smelt all over East Dublin, Eastern Laurens County in the city and the county parts and sometimes as far as into Dublin.  It has particularly gotten worse over the past year and now is emitted on a daily basis. The air quality is so bad you can not open your windows or door nor sit outside without being overwhelmed with the disgusting smell, which sometimes will turn your stomach and about make you vomit it's so terrible. 
At one point several years ago a lawsuit was brought against them and they were made to add a chemical to whatever it is they up there cooking/manufacturing, which would eliminate the odors. But after the New owners Darling took over they do not use the product and just pollute our air, it also keeps new businesses from coming to our area, and homeowners sell. It is ashamed you cannot sit outside in your yard or drive down the road towards town without being subject to this poor air quality. 
Please respond with any information to help with this problem. Thank you in advance."
