14. The wet misting system, located on the southern side of the building was not in operation due to problems with
the operation. This has been replaced by another system was in place using what appeared to be a dry evaporative
system that had a citrus smell as a masking agent.

The production of odors vary depending on the load; with variables depending on age and type of waste. CRR
staff stated that after the complaints on 5/5/2016, the sump below the scrubber is cleaned every day. An
updated Odor and Vector Control Plan was available and contained new updated information and procedures
