According to Michigan DEQ's Kristy Shimko, oil pumps should not smell like oil, and flares should not have any bad odor, Smelling pumps might have technical issues, and smelly flares do not burn properly. The DEQ depends on the public to be informed if, where and when pumps or flares smell bad. Please do not hesitate to contact Kristy by phone or email. If the DEQ does not receive complaints, they suppose that everything is OK. It is up to us citizens to report any discomforts, nuisances and such!
