ORIENT RD & 10TH AV & TAMPA BYPASS CANAL

The 40-acre site is located at 2009 Orient Road in an industrial area of Tampa, Florida. Most of the site is vegetated, except for the areas where support facilities were located during cleanup actions. The only facilities that remain are a maintenance building and office trailer. Site surroundings include industrial facilities to the west, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office-Orient Road Jail Facility to the south, the Tampa Bypass Canal to the east, and a CSX railroad corridor to the north. A construction materials plant is located directly north of the rail corridor. The Helena Chemical Co. (Tampa Plant) Superfund site is located northwest of the site. The site is the location of a former agricultural chemical product formulation, packaging and distribution facility. Operators packaged and distributed organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides at the site from 1951 until 1986. The facility is now inactive. Parties demolished most of the structures used for site operations. Disposal practices at the site included the burial of wastes, pesticides and packaging materials. In 1996, EPA listed the site on the NPL. Portions of the site along Orient Road are available for reuse.
