Description

Alberta Environment conducted a mobile air quality monitoring survey near livestock feeding operations in the Lethbridge area from September 1998 to July 1999, in response to concerns voiced by local residents about odours from livestock feeding operations as well as a proposal for a hog processing plant in the Lethbridge area. Following the public release of the Alberta Environment report and a critique by the Chinook Health Region, a request was made by Alberta Environment for this independent review of the Alberta Environment study and the Chinook Health Region critique.

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).
