RESPONSE SUMMARY REVISED DRAFT ORDER OF APPROVAL NO. 10052 Comment Period – September 13 – October 28, 2010 Mr. D. Lang Commenter (Written 10/28/2010) Comment Synopsis I think I will end this email here but I may write another one later today . I just want to say that I am not against Cedar Grove Composting operating in my area but I am totally against the smell that the facility makes. They are in denial that they even make an odor and until they recognize that they can and do generate an odor I do not think they will do anything to stop it from happening . I have lived in this area over 16 years and it is intolerable again . I cannot believe that they are allowed to continue to be able to generate such a foul awful odor year after year without any thing happening as a result of all the violations that they have had . It seems like there must be some kind of secret pact with the county or state that allows them to violate this law so many times without a change in their operations. It is a terrible injustice to the people who live in that area . I will continue to pursue any actions I can to get that horrible smell to stop!! I want to register a complaint regarding Cedar Grove Compost. During the past year especially in the warmer weather the odor coming from Cedar Grove has become unbearable and has prevented us from going outside and enjoying our yard, our home. It has a distinct smell and I have visited the Cedar Grove Compost site a number of times to verify that it is the same odor. It seems to be getting progressively worse each year. The impact to our life has been huge, we continually have to move inside during family events and cancel if the odor is too bad. We decided this year to not have my Daughter’s birthday party at home due to odor issues. During the summer my young children want to play outside but the smell keeps them indoors, they complain about the smell and I am reluctant to have the children’s friends spend any time at our house for the same reason. When the season changes to Fall and Winter the odor is less frequent but we still do smell it. I am an advocate for recycling and glad to see that waste and food scraps are being used to produce products for sale and reduce landfill waste but the volume and type of waste in the past few years comes with a huge cost to the quality of life for us. It has become an impact to quality of life for us and has contributed to a stress full living situation for our family, especially not being able to use our beautiful home's outdoor space in the Spring and Summer months. We want Cedar Grove to be responsible and do the right thing, I am not sure if proper filtering enclosures need to be installed but if so, this should be required immediately, maybe food scraps need to go somewhere else less populated or they should not be allowed to do business in the area. I am concerned about the local schools in Maple Valley that my kids will attend with the odor impact being much closer to Cedar Grove. This is wrong to continually subject my family to an environment where
