As Murray Hill residents continue to report less-than-pleasant smells wafting through their neighborhood, Envirosuite, the company contracted by the city of Jacksonville to provide 24/7 monitoring through a 12-month study, is now in its fourth month of environmental data collection. Residents living in other urban neighborhoods such as Ortega, San Marco, Springfield and Brentwood have also complained about the smell. Thirteen sensors and two weather stations, because the wind direction is a part of the study, were installed in February 2022. The study officially started in April 2022 and is scheduled to be completed a year later in April 2023. Quarterly reports, periodic validation of results and relocation of monitors are included. The data being collected is available for the public to view on the COJ website at COJ. net – Urban Odor Study (https://bit.ly/3K4cuSM). Envirosuite aggregates the data monthly and sends the City’s Environmental Quality Division (EQD) and the Jacksonville Environmental Protection Board (JEPD) a snapshot of the results. Daily, real-time data is not available, according to Caroline Adkins, COJ public relations specialist. “We will compare Envirosuite’s data for modeling with odor complaints we receive through our CRM system from calls to 630CITY,” said Adkins.
