Davisville Smell Mystery Deepens

Residents in Davisville, North Kingstown, are battling a persistent, months-long odor they blame on asphalt company Bitumar, whose operations began this year—just as the smell started. While the Quonset Development Corp, which approved Bitumar’s temporary setup, insists they’re working with state regulators, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management has received over 100 complaints but found no regulatory violations. Bitumar denies responsibility, citing their own odor surveys and pointing to other industrial sources, while pledging to investigate further and meet with officials if needed.
