6/22/2023 On 6/22/23 I attempted to call Scott Houtz (complainant) and left a voicemail in regards to this complaint. I traveled to the Bayer pollinator plot and prairie habitat to see if any odors or chemical spills have occurred. No strong odors were present during my visit along with no signs of any chemical spill or overapplication around the area. Once returning to FO6 I received an email that Dr. Gretchen Paluch (IDALS - Pesticide Bureau Chief received a call of strong odors near Bayer. Scott Houtz (complainant) reported to IDALS of the same complaint received by FO6. Taken from IDALS report: "Incident Description: Bayer Corp. makers of Round-Up about half mile away is a pollinator garden that I visit. I was at the pollinator garden, 6/18/23. It was so bad our eyes watered and smelled bad. (Did not seek medical help.)" When I'm in the area next I will drive by and see if any additional odors are occurring. A staff member of FO6 will be conducting an air quality inspection within the year (2023). ANTHONY KERKER
