SERVICE:

Odor Expert Testimony for Site Assignment

DESCRIPTION:

Tech Environmental was retained by ESS Group, Inc. to provide odor control testimony at the Site Assignment hearing for a major modification to the Devens Transfer Station's waste composition.

The proposed modification would permit a shift from 100% construction and demolition (C&D) waste to a mixture of C&D and municipal solid waste (MSW). Tech completed a site visit and reviewed the Devens Recycling Center's Site Assignment Major Modification Application with regard to odor control. In addition to Best Management Practices, Tech also recommended a number of minor facility design modifications that would best contain any mild odor that may be generated within the building during sorting. Tech provided expert testimony at the Site Assignment Hearing based on an emissions estimating and dispersion modeling study.
