What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Norfolk City Council voted down a proposal that would have reduced Actus Nutrition’s biological oxygen demand (BOD) limit from 8,000 pounds per day to 4,000 pounds per day. Instead, the council gave Actus 43 days to install odor-control equipment to address persistent complaints from residents.
