Are there major concerns?
Lift stations are usually not a problem. The sewage flowing through them are contained within the system.

The treatment area is the place where the sewage sees the light of day and subject to emitting odors.

Are they, treatment areas, a major concern? Personally, I think so. I am not sure of the range of the odor but there are a couple of golf courses where I find the odor offensive when downwind of the source.
