That Smell in Tangerine, Florida and Nearby Neighborhoods

May 31, 2020 Amy Yoder, CEO Anuvia Plant Nutrients  PO Box 220 Zellwood, Fl 32798 Dear Ms. Yoder, I’m your neighbor of sorts. I live three miles north of 6751 W. Jones Avenue, Zellwood 32798.  Until this January I had only a vague idea of the location of your plant and I’d never heard of Anuvia.

In that case, contact Ms. Moore via Facebook  Orange County District 2 Commissioner  or call her office at 407-836-7350 to get on her list as you should have a voice too.  Quoting  her, "...I still have concerns the remediation will be unsuccessful. ... [These businesses] must also be moved to action due to hearing first hand examples of how their odors are substantially altering lives."  We cannot let our work done so far slip away. We need to continue reporting the odors, both to Orange County and to the FDEP. We need to write letters. If you would like to have your letter(s...
