Fort Smith residents, many of you have reported concerns of unpleasant odors in Fort Smith. After investigation, we learned that the smell is a result of a lagoon cleanup project in the Arkansas River bottoms in Crawford County. This process involves breaking down food residuals into agriculture inputs, providing local farmers with nutrient-rich fertilizer to stimulate plant growth. The anticipated completion of the lagoon cleanup is within the next 10 days.
