Residents renew complaints about AZZ noise and environmental concerns
Summary
Multiple residents told the Olivette City Council on April 8 that industrial noise from the AZZ facility has resumed, citing earlier county intervention and asking the city to help coordinate with St. Louis County pollution authorities.
Several residents told the Olivette City Council on April 8 that noise from the AZZ facility has resumed after a period of reduced activity and asked the city to assist residents in coordinating with St. Louis County enforcement.
A resident who previously brought the matter to the council said the group had followed county guidance last year, been directed to county staff including a county manager and a Dr. Cunningham, and been told the facility had violations and could not resume operations until approvals were obtained. The resident said the noise restarted in the prior weeks and described continuous scraping and other sounds at night, asserting health and quality-of-life impacts.
Mayor Waldman and City Manager Jennifer Jackley responded that initial enforcement and permitting authority lies with St. Louis County and encouraged residents to continue reporting to the county pollution board. Jackley said the city would help with communications and would monitor the situation.
No formal action or referral to a specific enforcement agency was recorded at the April 8 meeting; residents were urged to continue reporting to county authorities while keeping the city informed.
