Description
Odour complaints from the Three Creeks area were received by the Energy Resources Conservation Board and Alberta Environment. Odours were noted when the wind speed was low, and it is likely that this meteorological condition contributed to the accumulation of emitted compounds in the area. The odours in the area were identified as "hydrocarbon type" and air samples were collected at various locations within the affected area, at the potential source locations, and also at background (reference) sites. These samples were taken to a laboratory and analyzed for volatile organic compounds (also known as hydrocarbons).
