Stink riddle solved Two companies issued with EPA notices over Rutherford odours • MELISSAH COMBER
he main causes of the Rutherford stink have been identified. The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) handed down the results of a $400,000 study into the odour that has plagued the suburb for several years, naming Fulton Hogan asphalt plant and Wax Converters Textiles as the main contributors to the stink. The two factories have been issued with Prevention Notices, which require the companies to identify ways to minimise the odour and report back to the EPA within three months. EPA Director North Gary Davey said that a regulatory program is also being implemented at the Truegain and Transpacific Industrial waste oil refineries to ensure pollution control equipment is operating effectively at all times. ''The investigations suggest that if pollution control equipment is not operating effectively at the two waste oil refineries there is potential for odour emissions from these sites to increase significantly," he said. ''The regulatory program will provide close oversight of the companies operations." The conclusions were reached after the Rutherford Odour Investigation Project reviewed records of odour sources within the Rutherford Industrial Estate, an industry odour sampling program, the development of an odour dispersion model and a community-based olfactometry study.
