E-mail Alert System

The Carthage Press, Friday, Sept 12, 2008, reported that the City of Carthage and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) had set up an E-mail alert system. City Administrator Tom Short explained that anytime an odor complaint is received by MDNR, regarding a Carthage odor complaint, an E-mail alert is sent out to officials at the City of Carthage, as well as company representatives at Renewable Environmental Solutions, Inc (RES), Schrieber Foods, ButterBall, and ADM Mills. City Administrator Short said that he had received five E-mail alerts in the 'little more than a week' that the plan had been operational.

This is all "fine and good" but what has been the result of the 5 odor complaints received? I don't need an E-mail alert to tell me when RES stinks.
