2. Even when operations were in Rosemead, I've lived near the area and worked within Rosemead (including a job that was only 1/4 mile from the plant) and have never noticed any foul or pungent odors. Now if someone can have a talk about the manure smell in the Chino Hills area...

No arguments here. Just regurgitating what I've read elsewhere. And truth be told, the Kraft food place in Champaign stinks like hell and no one complains. We live about 6 miles from a pet food plant and if the wind is right, that smell will be in the air. I even worked near a chocolate factory once and while that smell is pleasant for a sort time, after a few hours it gets old. Breweries can be nasty, too. Hops can really stink up a place.
