Of course smell is the least of the concerns envrionmentally as it only will effect human residents; the main concern is the damage to the river and the wetlands. The smell is truely inconsequnetial to the damage that will be done to the river ecosystem and its services. I have walked the perimeter of the current mulching facility that is suppose to be state of the art and climbed over and through the garbage and plastic floating down to the Patuxent River. This plus run-off will trump any smell.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00344619456024544621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36414668.post-79541135385787407872009-04-18T16:06:00.000-04:002009-04-18T16:06:00.000-04:00You know, people are going to be a little bit pert...You know, people are going to be a little bit perturbed when the trash transfer station is up and running and you can't smell anything. <br /><br />The ONLY concern with siting a hotel there is the traffic impact. Smell is a non-starter, because the environmental impact of transfer stations can be easily monitored, and data is available from the hundreds of transfer stations around the country that show that, properly constructed, these things have minimal impact other than traffic. <br /><br />It is difficult for the community to fight against the traffic impacts of the transfer station, which are real, when so much of the arguments against it are based on suppositions and hysteria based upon environmental impacts that are imaginary (and have proven to be minimal). <br /><br />Arguments based in fact and reality work so much better than those based upon ignorance and emotion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
