Odour control is an important issue.
There is a fundamental flaw in all of the ministry's guidelines and regulations. It is the stagnate nature of the MECP and its personal, without the ability to listen to and understand public feedback. Public feedback is not given an appropriate amount of basic respect. When the public give feedback to the MECP its like talking to a brick wall.
The regulations are meant to give guidance to industry, not to address public concerns, once a ECA is given approval there is no opportunity for changes after. People do not recognize the dangers of any industrial operation until they start living it, then they can truly give appropriate feedback. The MECP is a cumbersome outdated institute that is a basic arm for industry, not public concerns.
The laws and regulations must reflect the importance of public concerns, this means that the laws, regulations, ECA's..etc. must all be flexible in nature and when public feedback comes in, then all of these regulations, ECA's ..etc are subject to change in regards to the public feedback at any point in time, meaning of course that an ECA can be changed to address public concerns for any contaminate.

Hold on you say, industry cannot work like that, they cant function if the rules change. Industry could not survive.

Yet that is what you expect the public to do, is it not? You expect the public to adapt to industry, this facility that destroys their way of life. What a pathetic and dangerous concept that is.

Maybe there are people in the MECP who do try to make things better? But i am sure they get trampled by the old guard, old bitter outdated people who have become scarred and poisonous in nature, who have lost their compassion and ability to change things for the better.

Oh, there is an appeal process to an ECA, if you have the money to go that route. But the old poisonous guard is there to effectively ignore and trample the appeal process with cleverly snide remarks.

What's the point of all this? It is that public feedback must actually be listened to. So, how can these regulations, guidelines, laws better reflect public feedback?
There must be enshrined in law an appeal process, funded by industry to have an appeal process to an external body of experts, after actually listening the the public complaints, this external body has the ability in real time and in law to change the guidelines, laws regulations to address concerns.

Total chaos you say...to bad industry will adapt!
