May 10 Before she ever heard the word biosolids, Katherine Smith knew that the smell wafting across her 160-acre property in Bosque County was abnormal. Starting in early March, she tracked the days where she could barely peek her head outside without feeling nauseous. Out of 49 days, she marked 28 as STINK.

I barely could get my car unloaded and my groceries inside without throwing up.

Opponents contend the project has been advanced without transparency and engagement with stakeholders.
