     The state Department of Environmental Quality office in Cadillac is 
home to more than a dozen thick files on WRS, documents sprinkled with 
graphic complaints from plant neighbors.
     One woman called DEQ in mid-September to report odors so bad her 
children couldn't wait outside for the school bus. Others describe it as a 
"dead animal" smell.
     DEQ officials termed the odor "overwhelming" when they inspected the 
plant a week after the November lagoon breach.
     "It smelled like vomit," DEQ's Janice Heuer said in a Nov. 15 report.
