What about a lawsuit by all the surrounding home owners for lost property value?

Hire a lawyer. Seriously. This is a classic case of a public nuisance, against which you have a common law remedy. Your damages would likely be financial rather than an injunction against the noise – but enough money would let you move to somewhere quieter.

The owners of the cheese factory testified in a city hearing (before they went to the county for the permit) that it’s proposed new whey dryer tower would be noisy and smelly and generate a lot more traffic. Then, when they went to the county, they denied all of this. Bizzare, but true.

WHEY GOOD NEWS FOR YOU, TOM!

Because of noxious noise complaints, the factory’s whey dryer will be silenced for the New Year’s holiday weekend:

Now, could you please do something about the Tax Commission’s alleged stinky cheese deals?

Happy New Year! Stick around.

“We are contemplating abandoning our home to save our health and sanity since it certainly isn’t salable, obviously the warm and fuzzy feeling about the Treasure Valley and the State of Idaho is gone. This may be just an early sign of what happens in a one party oligarchy, Idaho has become the “ Right to Harm” state.”

Please Tom, don’t forget to spread those words when you and your “War Bride” get back to where ever you came from!
You must have been chummed in on one of those other “Gosh, ain’t Idaho great!” invasions if you thought Idaho was truly wonderful in the “late seventies and early eighties.” (Idaho was already suffering from over kalifornication in those days too.) Back then it was mostly kalis and northern left coasters swarming here. The only difference is that now we seem to have added the gawl dangit texan rabble to the hordes.
Anyway, go ahead and abandon your house, but above all, have a nice trip BACK to where ever you came from.
Don’t leave with empty seats in your vehicle and remember to tell all your other pals and relatives how absolutley NASTY it was here when you get home.

Erico,
I’m one of the impacted neighbors. Can you please send me more information on the noise discussion and the permit? I need to find this information.

Find exactly what law is being violated by the factory, band together with your neighbors and sue…then go after the local government that is not enforcing the law.

The City of Nampa likely referred Mr. Flanary to the County because the factory is in the County. The City has no jurisdiction. I drive by the plant frequently and don’t remember seeing any city subdivisions nearby. There are some county subdivisions that have been there awhile, but no city subs that I am aware of. One of the problems that occurs when the County does not have zoning, just CUP. Keep the subdivisions inside city limits and create buffers from industrial uses.

This must be a mistake. Only Wisconsin grows cheese and a lot of other offensive stuff. We had a stink in St Paul (literally) with a ethanol plant in an old brewery. Now that brewery might get government help to become a residential commercial development. The same could happen in Canyon County if they are lucky. I know cheese.
