Odors are a concern if Stanwood composting operation expands
STANWOOD — Residents concerned about a Stanwood firm’s plan to double the size of its composting operation off Highway 532 can share their feelings at a public hearing with regulators next week.
Lenz Enterprises is seeking permits to handle up to 150,000 tons of organic material like yard trimmings and food waste each year, twice what it is now allowed at the site.
The expansion would make it one of the largest commercial composting facilities in the state.
The proposal calls for processing to occur more hours each weekday and on Saturdays. Areas used for each stage of the composting process would be enlarged, as would the equipment used for capturing emissions and preventing odors.
