纽芬兰和拉布拉多省圣玛丽镇近日启动大规模环保治理项目，清理一座被遗弃逾20年的鱼酱工厂遗留下的污染[1]。这个仅有约300人口的小镇长期饱受刺鼻恶臭困扰。
现场留存110个储罐，每个容量为3000加仑，内装发酵鱼酱[1]。镇长Steve Ryan形容这股恶臭为"你这辈子闻过最恶心的腐鱼味道，乘以100倍"[1]。该鱼酱工厂大西洋海鲜酱公司在20多年前被遗弃，却未妥善处理生产遗留物。
清理工程由省政府提供资金支持，总成本达170万加元（折合约121万美元），预计数月内完成[1]。圣玛丽镇社区需贷款19.8万加元用于项目启动，后续将获得返还[1]。
Saint Mary's, a community of approximately 300 residents in Newfoundland and Labrador on Canada's eastern coast, is launching a cleanup effort to eliminate a persistent foul odor that has plagued the area for more than two decades [1]. The stench originates from an abandoned fish sauce factory that left behind 110 storage tanks, each containing 3,000 gallons of fermented fish sauce [1]. Town Mayor Steve Ryan described the smell as "the worst rotted fish you ever smelled in your lifetime, times 100" [1].
The cleanup project, led by Sharp Management Company, commenced this week with an estimated completion timeframe of several months [1]. The remediation effort carries a total cost of 1.7 million Canadian dollars, equivalent to approximately 1.21 million U.S. dollars [1]. The community secured funding through provincial government support, though the town initially needed to secure a loan of 198,000 Canadian dollars to cover its portion of the project, with the expectation of receiving reimbursement [1].
