JBS Butchertown plant submits proposal for odor control
The JBS pork plant in Louisville, Ky. has submitted plans for controlling livestock odors at its Butchertown plant to the Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District. The company had been ordered to submit a plan following a recent notice of violation and fine of $98,750.
The Louisville Courier-Journal reports that JBS had earlier submitted a report titled "Assessment of Stock Pen Odors at the Swift Pork Company Plant in Louisville, Kentucky," dated Jan. 31, that it commissioned from Odor Science & Engineering in Bloomfield, Conn. The plant will follow recommendations made in the assessment report, Dennis Conniff, an attorney with Frost Brown Todd who represents JBS, said in a March 13 letter to the agency.
