New efforts to trace stinky smells near Marysville

A renewed effort to monitor and trace offensive smells in
the Marysville area could finally pinpoint the
exact source of the stink.

Plans are in the works for a new study that would include
the installation of monitoring equipment at suspect sites,
including Cedar Grove Composting.

The Everett Herald reports a similar effort
last year collapsed in a
disagreement over the equipment.

People in north Everett and Marsyville complain, mainly
during summertime, about an intense stench in their
neighborhoods.

The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency has issued fines against
Cedar Grove, but the company insists there are other
potential sources of the foul odor.
