Report a Violation
Every time you smell the odor, please report it to the FDEP Complaint Survey and select "Air Quality" and "Wastewater" from the options.
Submit multiple times a day if you smell it throughout the day (~1 hour apart)
Include precise location of the odor; include mentioning Indianhead Biomass
If not submitting right away, include the time when you smelled it
If not submitting on the same day, please include date and time
Also report to the FDEP if Indianhead Biomass is operating outside of their allowed hours or you see their gate open after hours. The hours of operation dates and times are listed below.
Report to FDEP
Report to the County
If you see or hear Indianhead operating outside of Monday to Friday 7 AM to 5 PM, see or hear them operating over the weekend, and/or you see their gates open from 5PM-7AM any day, please submit a PRIDE report. Make sure to select "Special Use Permit" from the drop-down list.
If you are able, please also take a timestamped picture. It is not required but it helps to have evidence.

Report Health Concerns
If you are experiencing any symptoms that could be related to the inhalation of biosolids, please send the Department of Health an email detailing your concerns and experiences
SJCHD.EH@flhealth.gov
The FDEP and DOH are pointing people toward the other right now, so please do not be deterred by any messages that tell you to send to the opposite entity. Continue to submit reports regardless as it ensures a formal record of incidents and impacts is being documented.
