• Palm Beach Post: Wellington seeks to pass smell test on manure issue
• https://www.pressreader.com/usa/the-palm-beach-post/20180910/281848644494465
• The article focuses on Palm Beach county and their issue with the amount of horse manure that they have to deal with. The county holds over 28,000 horses which produces excess manure that has to be either distributed for use or disposed of. It causes a smell and also a problem in how to deal with it.
• The problem is that because Palm Beach County is a horse owner county and is responsible for many races, etc... they must deal with an issue that isn't commonly thought of, how to deal with waste. There are facilities now that dispose of the waste but they must show proof of buyers or proper management of the waste. Also the problem of illegal dumping is apparent because of the number of horses and so few sites.
• The people with the problem are not only the horse owners that must deal with the manure but also the facilities responsible for disposing or selling. We also know that all palm beach county residents must deal with the smell so also have an issue.
