Odour complaints
Date published: 14th August 2023
We continue to monitor air quality and noise in community locations. As a result, a new air quality network for Mossmorran communities has launched.
The site is currently undertaking a programme of work to capture emissions from the dryer hall.
Progress is being made on all areas of the design and build and is expected to be completed by XXXXX.
SEPA will take any necessary action should this work fail to achieve the expected level of improvement.
What we have done
Hopefully conclude in 2023 with the dryer hall odour capture project.
We have undertaken frequent on and off-site inspections during this period, alongside regular engagement with the operator.
At this time, we will be unable to provide a personal response to each complainant. Instead, we will provide a standard email response and post updates.
