I thought you were a librarian?!
I must have you mixed up with someone else.
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
Shootingstar, it's great that they have bikes. You might suggest adult kick scooters, too. I don't know which ones are available in Canada, but they might be simpler to use and less expensive than bikes.
We have a state park built atop a sewage plant. There is occasionally a little odor, but most of the time, it isn't smelly at all.
There are odor control mechanisms and systems when sewer water is treated at the newer built facilities.
My role covers more knowledge/document/content management which still uses librarian skills/training (alot of my colleagues are in these areas now).....my jobs have taken me into fire stations, courthouses, construction site trailers, etc. where clients work and use/access their info.
Pam, there must be other several examples of plants disguised cleverly. One of ours even has a tree farm...onsite to provide tree saplings to local parks owned by the municipality. Land won't be used yet for expansion for another 20 yrs. So might as well make good use of empty land.![]()

The (older) plants near me ALWAYS smell. It's just worse on some days than others. I can't believe that they're always malfunctioning?

A friend of mine used to run a oil terminal/storage facility.
She got a fleet of bikes for her staff to get around on for doing checks etc.
Much safer than vehicles.
Security guards and airport employees are allowed to use the work bikes and bike inside the airport.
We saw them in Montreal and Frankfurt airports.
It must be drag to smell it, Oak. Sounds like those facilities may have not been upgraded... wonder if anyone has complained from an environmental standpoint.
The facility that I visited is partnering with the local university where the uni will build a wastewater research and testing facility nearby. Another facility I dropped by, was water quality testing, etc. Just an architecturally gorgeous building. Outside there are test landscape areas for drought-resistant, prairie grasses. They too also have a couple of work bikes for staff to bike around. I'm not sure how often staff use them.
I'm trying to imagine, Oak taking a group of children to a slaughterhouse these days. Not sayin' to protect children, but an abbatoir is abit much.
