To facilitate complaints associated with the OCRRA Amboy compost facility, DEC has set up an email that residents should use when they detect odors related to the facility. That email address is:
R7odors@dec.ny.gov
Anyone emailing a complaint should provide the following information:
Name and address where the odor is/was detected
The date and time the odor was detected and if it is ongoing
The date and time the odor dissipated to the point that it was no longer detected
Any characteristics of the odor such as strength (strong, weak, coming and going) and smells like coffee, chocolate, cheese, woody, etc.
For those that do not have email access, 315-426-7535. We still ask that the callers leave their name, phone number and when they smelled the odors and a description of those odors
For complaints received during normal business hours, DEC staff will make every effort to visit the site to verify the odors. DEC staff will also review the complaints with OCRRA staff.
