Having worked on a site downwind from an asphalt plant that was discharging in accordance with state guidelines (albeit not NH), good for them for not wanting this near their homes. The odors were horrific. A coworker was dry heaving, although he is a bit of a baby.

There's a concrete and asphalt plant in Lebanon... The smell is horrendous. They blame it on the landfill across the street but... It's not.

I’m sure the asphalt plant in Lebanon smells bad. But, I can’t tell because all I can smell is hot, rotting garbage anywhere within about 2 miles of that landfill.

No, you're smelling the asphalt plant. They've fought HARD against any sort of mitigation by blaming it on the landfill. But anyone who's been around concrete and asphalt plants knows what they smell like.

My hometown has a old closed and capped llandfill, at also has a concrete plant about 8 miles away. One of them stinks like sulfurous eggs pooped out of satans ass. Guess which one?
The landfill.

It’s definitely Pike/Carroll, the dump before the City installed the waste gas burners was 30X worse ( I mean like get out of you car and start heaving on the worst days).

Oh yeah, I'm sure. And even capped landfills do smell. But the smell of concrete and asphalt production is VERY distinct if you know it.

I can assure you, having been on both sites it's definitely the landfill.

Seems really odd that it's the most noticeable specifically when Carroll is making asphalt and concrete then...

Carroll Concrete is a shitty company, owned by shitty people, but the stench is 100% methane gas being released by the landfill across the street.
Sand & gravel pits aren't the same as asphalt plants.

They make asphalt and concrete at Carroll. It's not just a gravel pit.

My town residents don't show up for a lot of meetings. Really nothing at all. But man, when there was a proposed crematorium up on the agenda, the town hall was over flooded.

Yeah this may be the only time I'm in favor of NIMBY because this is something that shouldn't happen in anyone's back yard
