As complaints about a smell emanating from the Deer Creek wastewater disposal facility near Whitewater continue to roll in, Mesa County leadership confirmed Monday it's likely the facility's operators will face potential revocation of their conditional-use permit. Mesa County commissioners in November approved a two-year extension of the facility's permit that allows its operation at 5180 U.S. Highway 50. Deer Creek operators said at the time a metallic stench that had crept from the facility into nearby homes starting last May had been mitigated in the fall with the help of aerators.
