7/9/2013 From: Miller, David [DNR] Sent: Monday, July 08, 2013 10:06 AM To: Schmitz, Stuart [IDPH] Cc: Smith, Mike [DNR] Subject: RE: Odor Complaints in Coleman District - Fort Dodge Greetings Stuart – DNR is aware of the issue, but found no violations of the Iowa Administrative Code Section 567, which DNR enforces. The landfill has a contract with the Coleman Sanitary District to discharge the leachate. The Sanitarian is aware of this and, as I understand it, she believes that if odors are entering the homes through the sewer, there is a problem with the home’s infrastructure. Pasted below is some additional information regarding DNR inquiries. (COPIES OF THE COMPLAINT SUMMARY WERE INCLUDED). ************************************** From: Schmitz, Stuart [IDPH] Sent: Monday, July 08, 2013 9:52 AM To: Miller, David [DNR]; Smith, Mike [DNR] Subject: Odor Complaints in Coleman District - Fort Dodge David Miller Mike Smith Dear David and Mike, I have received some odor complaints from people living in the Coleman District regarding odors they believe are from leachate from the North Central Iowa Regional Landfill being discharged into the sewer system. I have had some conversations with an individual in this area and with Webster County Public Health. I see that you have been copied on correspondence dealing with this issue. What has been the IDNR’s work on this issue? Thank you, Stuart C. Schmitz, M.S., P.E. Environmental Toxicologist | Division of Environmental Health | Iowa Department of Public Health DAVID MILLER
