Think sugar refineries are bad, try a sewage treatment plant.

Try going to your kids' soccer games right by a sewage treatment plant.

We didn't care if they won or lost........... just wanted the games to be over.

So let us just shut down every business, because that's where this goes.

Are you for real? Nope..residents where there first. I would not want to smell that crap.

Maybe the windows being open had something to do with it.

I suppose they could move the plant--out of state, like the chap who makes Sriracha sauce said he'd do. But then they would lose the jobs and tax base and income tax and ...and...and...

..or just move it out in a more rural area.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Likely it has to do more with wind direction and the product they are producing at the moment. I'd just about bet the soup maker has been there longer than the complainants.

Many previously industrial areas are being remodeled into trendy apartments/condos and then the new residents complain about the industry that was already there, or the noise the shooting range makes, or whatever.

If the plant is having a problem with something (it said this problem has gradually been getting worse) they should fix it. I agree there. In this case they haven't been there long, and should address the complaints. Usually those plants are located where they are because of the available commercial space. A more rural area just might not have the water supply, among other things, they need to operate.

I love Tobasco, and tried the Sriracha.  I couldn't stand it.  Living in AZ, I had to order it from Amazon because all the stores here carry is the 5 gallon jugs.

Tabasco is pretty mild, a gateway pepper.
It must have been a test market, because I've never seen it but once: Tabasco Sriracha. That stuff was the bomb, it would have been good on a flipflop.

One of my clients rebuild sewer pumps. The woman I work with at the group walked in back on day and the guys were eating their lunch- sandwiches and chips with their dirty hands from the pumps like it was nothing and she said poo was still caked around the pumps.

My bil is a plumber and said you get used to it.

I'm not that hard core (stupid) to not wash my hands, but being the son of a retired plumber and having had enough rental units basements filled with floating turds from back ups, you do get used to it.

Years back a  friend of mine got a grunt job in the local sewage treatment facility-basically wading through turds. For the first 2-3 months he was really sick all the time but said he has not had a cold in years . Not sure if he was hyperbole/ half joking or not.

Neighbor of mine growing up was a plumber, and he was a nail-biter.  He got Hep from it.

It depends on whether the crude has H2S in it, and how gassy it is. Sometimes, flaring gas is a good thing.

Here, too, the wellhead has to be a minimum of 500 ft. from any occupied structure.

I know a couple of guys in the Septic tank industry, and they are very seldom sick. I would think all that exposure has their immune systems running in high gear.

Wow! Googling this brought up a lot of facts to support your contention.

Whenever there is a debate about the lack of jobs, people always mention that the trades pay well and plumbers make a lot of money, well I guess we now know why.
