That Smell in Tangerine, Florida and Nearby Neighborhoods

Good morning, It's been a while since I've posted on here so it's time for an update.  Orange County's odor reporting site is acting glitchy and kicking people off. It's weird, sometimes it works and sometimes not. Maria Repass of Orange County is checking into it. In the meantime, send her an e-mail at maria.repass@ocfl.net. FDEP's odor reporting site is working fine.  All of the odors reported recently are of the "poopy" variety according to the information I have. Anuvia is still closed. I sent an e-mail to Ashley Gardner recently asking her to let us know when they plan to reopen. Anuvia has to give them a 30-day notice to allow for inspections before they reopen.  Recent messages posted in the Facebook group include: Poopy sewer smell. Smelt that funk at 7:45 am, to funkin' funky. Terrible Manure smell at 8am when I woke up in Stoneybrook Hills I was awakened from a dead sleep this morning by a horrendous odor. I have bloodwork to be done tod...

This letter copied to us says it all. -----

The air in Tangerine and the surrounding neighborhoods have been free, for the most part, of the stink of Anuvia since mid-June. We can't rest too easy though, because Anuvia has plans to sell a lot of fertilizer in the future.  The latest update on Anuvia from the Orange County Environmental Protection Department indicated that they had been shut down since June 3, 2020. Anuvia has stated in the past they plan to ramp up production in the fall for the Spring 2021 planting season.  According to Total Landscape Care , Anuvia hired a new vice-president to " lead Anuvia’s efforts to build existing retail and distribution alliances while seeking to create new customer partnerships to further advance the sales of SymTRX, Anuvia’s bio-based, sustainable fertilizer." Anuvia is currently working with the Mosaic Plant in Plant City to utilize their space for fertilizer production while continuing to produce fertilizer [there.] This is general knowledge in the indu...

The Shelley Hearing was basically four hearings combined into two. The first three were combined at the request of Jonathan Huels, the Shelley family attorney. The last one was handled by itself. GPITA's function is either a fertilizer storage area or a chipping/composting area for Shelleys and is located further down the road on Jones Avenue. I'm sure that those who weren't able to virtually attend the Code Enforcement for Shelley's Septic Tank are wondering how it went. Long story short, Orange Coun ty Code Enforcement prevailed with the Special Magistrate. Shelley's filed a suit against the County on June 24th, 2020. We have to wait to see if they will file an appeal regarding the Special Magistrate's decision.  You can see the Orange County's PPT for the hearing here.  This was obtained from Orange County Code Enforcement as it's public record. You can see the Shelleys attorney's PPT for the hearing here.  This was obtained fro...
