Dear interested parties,
Complaint investigations by EGLE’s Air Quality Division are continuing this week, with additional inspections in the Fowlerville area. There are multiple potential sources being considered, and one of them has just conducted extensive maintenance on their air pollution control device, to maximize its performance. AQD is working to characterize the emissions from potential sources and a complaint investigation report is being prepared. Citizens wishing to report odor complaints should complete the Air Quality Online Complaint form or call the Pollution Emergency Alert System number at 800-292-4706.

*ODOR UPDATE #2 - 10/14/2022*
Email received from EGLE (AQD)
Dear interested parties:
On Wednesday, October 12, 2022, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Air Quality Division (AQD) followed up on several odor complaints received from within the Village of Fowlerville. Odor complaints were reported to be both of a “fertilizer” or “chlorine/burning plastic” type smell. AQD staff have referred the fertilizer odors to the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Developments (MDARD) Right to Farm (RTF) program as they appeared to be from agricultural operations. The AQD also investigated area industrial sources and are working to address potential sources of the chlorine/burning plastic type odors. Please contact Dan McGeen at 517-648-7547 or at mcgeend@michigan.gov if you have any questions. After business hours, please call the Pollution Emergency Alert System (PEAS) at 1-800-292-4706.
Sincerely,
Dan

The State of Michigan EGLE has investigated the odor smell and determined the source to be one of the industrial facilities on Van Riper Road. The State of Michigan Department of Air Quality has also been notified and proper measures have been taken to eliminate the emissions from the facility.
