Many neighbors told the Select Board at an Oct. 26 meeting that the smell, which River Street resident Jamie Meserve described as a mix of “rotten milk, vomit, bad cheese [and] trash,” has caused people to vomit and made people’s lives “hell.”Health Director Eric Badger said that Ronald High, who operates A-Plus, hired a lawyer to represent him at a Nov. 16 hearing with the Select Board, which operates as the town’s Board of Health.Badger said that as of Nov. 9, he was unsure if High had completely ceased operations. He said he received reports about the smell over the weekend.The Plymouth Superior Court blocked the plant from operating in 2022, but it reopened soon after once High self-certified with the Department of Environmental Protection.High declined to comment on the cease and desist letter.</div></body>
