I have been receiving several complaints about a nasty odours in Upper Stoney Creek.
Last term, the odour was coming from sewer gas emanating from the trunk sewer under Centennial Parkway. To correct this problem, the city installed large carbon scrubbers at the candy cane vents which has solved the problem to date… knock on wood.
In the spring, it was a failure of mechanical equipment at the GFL landfill leachate pond. The strong sulphur like odour, smelled like rotten eggs, was corrected with maintenance work done on the hydrogen peroxide injectors and aerator pumps. Problem solved.
The more prevalent odour is now coming from the landfill itself. GFL is constructing the last few cells in the landfill. They moved some waste materials to the top of the landfill to make way for the contractors.
I am asking local residents to complete the attached survey to help me understand the impacts on your family.
