Will the gas smell?

Landfill gas is released to the atmosphere under natural pressure. The gas being vented is mostly methane. The landfill gas that smells is typically sulphuric acid or rotten egg gas. Council anticipates that there will only be traces of this gas, and very little, if any odour. As the vents are likely to be 4m high at the Oval boundary, the gas will diffuse into the atmosphere. Council will monitor the vents for odour and if an unacceptable level of odour consistently occurs, this will be addressed.
