Lowell orders shutdown of smelly biodigester

Lowell City Council has had enough with Lowell Energy AD's problematic biodigester.  Council members spent more than an hour Monday, Nov. 21, discussing and hearing neighbor complaints about the smelly waste-to-energy plant. As a result, City Council ordered a shutdown of the facility.  Monday's consensus came after Lowell Energy AD, the plant's owner, failed to eliminate foul odors emitting from the 625 Chatham St. biodigester by a Nov. 1 deadline. The company was cited for violating its contract with the city five times between Nov. 7-14, each as a result of the foul smell.
