A Mosgiel rendering plant owner is to host a public meeting before the company is sentenced on two charges related to odour issues. The Otago Regional Council subsequently prosecuted the owner of the plant, the Wallace Group, on charges of contravening an abatement notice and discharging contaminants (odorous compounds) into the air. The Otago Regional Council was monitoring the plant weekly, which had helped in understanding where "tweaks" were needed, he said. The plant has been in Dukes Rd since the mid-1980s, and has been owned by the Wallace Group for the past six years. Otago Regional Council manager compliance Tami Sergeant said it was not appropriate for the council to comment.
