Morwell community reports manure odour

19 Aug 2014


Residents of Morwell have reported odour to EPA over the past few days.

EPA investigated several possible sources of odour, one of which was farm where manure had been spread across the site. EPA identified this as the most likely source.

The farmer was advised on best practice management to prevent future odour impacts on the community

So while the activity is a legitimate re-use and EPA encourages this, we have encouraged the farmer to consider future actions so his actions don't impact his neighbours.
