landia chemical company

1405 WEST OLIVE STREET

The 13-acre site is located in Lakeland, Florida. The site includes two property parcels, the former Landia Chemical Company (LCC) property and the former Florida Favorite Fertilizer (FFF), located at 1405 and 1607 Olive Street, respectively. The site includes buildings, paved and gravel areas, and grassy areas. The site’s surroundings include industrial and commercial land uses to the north, east and west. The site borders a CSX railroad right of way to the north. Residential areas are located south of the site; these areas include low-income and minority residents. Three different companies conducted pesticide blending and formulating operations on the former LCC property from 1945 until 1987: Standard Spray and Chemical (1945-1976), Agrico Chemical Company (1976-1977) and Landia Chemical Company (1977-1987). These operations released pesticides, metals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the environment. Chain-link fencing and locked gates restrict access to the former LCC property, which is currently not in use. Following cleanup of the property, it will be able to support commercial and industrial land uses in the future. The FFF Company began fertilizer blending operations on its property around 1935. In 1992, the company transferred its property for a limited partnership interest in PCS Joint Ventures, Inc (PCS JV). In 2006, PCS JV sold the former FFF property to another company. The current owner continues to operate a fertilizer blending facility on the property. In 2000, EPA listed the site on the NPL.
