ford truck guy, etc,
Being kind of close to a water treatment plant was a concern but after years of study and monitoring, very rarely can there be any smell at all because it's so rare to have the wind blow over the area of the resort. Besides, the plant uses lots of odor control tactics/methods and actually burns the waste in sealed furnaces. The liquid released into the river is odorless and nearly drinkable as it's the law here! Years ago there was an occasional odor that could come from the waste water plant but that has been 99% corrected long ago.
Do you really think anyone would spend 4+ million dollars to put a very expensive resort next to a smelly sewage plant??? Or now spend many millions more to rebuild the commercial buildings/stores/restaurants etc around that area??? There are no factories in that local area since the huge Eagle Ottawa Tannery was torn down and the soil cleansed or replaced and certified clean.
