This webinar will present a case study of an odor abatement project for which equity issues came into play. Some key philosophical and policy questions will be addressed – Does it matter who was there first? Should ratepayer money be spent on odor abatement improvements that may only provide a benefit to a limited number of people? Tools for evaluating neighborhood demographics, including income levels, health statistics, ethnicity, education levels, and other key indicators will be explored, and ways to use the available data for community engagement will be discussed.
