D. Control Of Odors:
1. When as many as three (3) complaints of an objectionable odor situation are registered with the air quality section, or earlier, at the option of the air quality section, it shall be the responsibility of the air quality section to investigate the complaints by interview with the complainants and/or other occupants of the area of concern to determine the source or sources of odorous matter and the circumstances surrounding its emission.
2. When it is necessary to ascertain the presence or absence of an objectionable odor, the determination shall be made by the air quality section, using a panel as provided in subsection D3 of this section. The panel of five (5) shall be appointed by the director, and shall consist of not more than two (2) members of the air quality section.
3. An odor shall be deemed "objectionable" for the purpose of this regulation when a majority of the members of the panel exposed to the odor determine that it is or tends to annoy, injure or endanger the comfort, repose, health or safety of a person, or which in any way renders a person insecure in life or the use of property.
4. If the panel determines that a person is causing or permitting the emission of an objectionable odor, that person shall take all steps required by the air quality section to control the objectionable odor.
5. Odor producing materials shall be stored and handled in a manner such that odors produced from such materials are confined. Accumulation of odor producing materials resulting from spillage or other escape is prohibited. (Ord. 1-06 § 30, 2006: prior code § 3-1-16)
