Investigation result

North west to north north west wind consistent with callers location for possible Olefins ETP odours at time of call.  A wind change to the South West had occurred prior to the on site investigation, hence the ETP or other potential odour sources could not be confirmed.  No plant upset or abnormal operating conditions were identified, the storm pond was empty.

Response

Site inspection and boundary investigation. The Effluent Treatment Plant was operating normally.  Follow up discussion with caller.
