What happened
March WRC is a clear case for reconciling human experience with operational evidence. Residents have reported persistent severe odour, approximately 30–40 lorry or tanker movements per day, road deterioration, vibration and alleged spillages. Anglian Water temporarily paused waste-treatment operations involving lime from 27 July to 22 September 2025. No supplied record confirms Environment Agency enforcement or planning sanction against March WRC.
4 events on record from 8 source records.

What we haven’t found
BioVeracity has not located the following in the public sources reviewed for this place. Absence here is not proof that nothing happened — only that the record is, so far, silent.
No verified odour concentration or source-apportionment series supplied
Why it matters: Cannot determine whether specific processes or external sources are responsible for reported odour.
What would resolve it: Dispersion modelling, source apportionment, wind-correlated odour measurements
Classification: Evidence gap
No complete complaint chronology supplied
Why it matters: Cannot correlate reported odour with operational state, weather, or vehicle movements.
What would resolve it: Timestamped complaint records, operational logs, vehicle counts
Classification: Evidence gap
Alleged spillages not supported by authoritative incident record
Why it matters: Community reports cannot be confirmed or refuted.
What would resolve it: Environment Agency incident records, operator event logs
Classification: Evidence gap
BioVeracity has not located a verified odour-concentration or source-apportionment series for March WRC in the public sources reviewed.
Why it matters: Without this record, human experience of the site and the operational/regulatory record cannot be reconciled.
What would resolve it: Sources to check: EA public register (permits, compliance, enforcement), operator process logs, council contact records. Last checked at seed time.
