This study introduces a risk-based approach for developing effective odour management plans at wastewater treatment sites. By integrating stakeholder data and improving communication, it prioritizes mitigation measures and reduces odour-related conflicts.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Engineering
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Odour nuisance from wastewater treatment sites leads to public complaints and legal issues.
  • Traditional odour management plans often rely solely on technical emission data, neglecting community impact.
  • Poor communication between site staff, consultants, and the public hinders effective odour management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a risk-based framework for developing odour management plans.
  • To prioritize mitigation strategies based on odour exposure frequency and intensity.
  • To enhance communication and collaboration among stakeholders.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a risk-based approach for assessing and prioritizing odour mitigation measures.
  • Incorporated data from key stakeholders: customers, staff, and regulators.

  • Developed risk grids based on stakeholder input to guide remediation efforts.

    • Main Results:

    • Stakeholder involvement successfully raised operator awareness of odour significance.
    • Improved communication led to realistic expectations among customers and regulators, reducing conflict.
    • Low-cost emission reductions were achieved through enhanced housekeeping practices.

    Conclusions:

    • A risk-based approach incorporating stakeholder data improves odour management plans.
    • Effective communication is crucial for managing public perception and regulatory expectations.
    • This method leads to more practical and effective odour control strategies for wastewater treatment facilities.
