DOE has warned CB 10, however, that there could still be [I love this] “episodes of intense odor” until all of the new covers are installed and the system is fully operational.
Last year, the city finally announced it would begin installing the covers to replace temporary wooden domes that failed to contain the smell of the lightly-treated sewage splashing around inside the tanks.
At least one local resident, a veteran of many "episodes of intense odor", was skeptical about the good news. I guess he'll believe it when he doesn't smell it.
CB 10 Chair Joanne Seminara said it was "kind of amazing" that the tanks hadn't been covered in the first place, since that was what the board had been "clamoring about for years.”
Could it have been that no one was listening?
