2010 HWY 92

The 43-acre site is located approximately three miles northeast of downtown Deland in Volusia County, Florida, about 50 miles north of Orlando. Site features include a manufacturing facility, warehouse, laboratory, wastewater treatment facility and paved parking areas. A portion of Lake Miller, a 12-acre lake, is also located on site. U.S. Highway 92 borders the site to the north, a Florida Department of Transportation maintenance yard borders the site to the south, residential homes border the site to the east and Lake Miller borders the site to the west. Land uses in the area are mostly residential and commercial. Sherwood Medical Industries began manufacturing medical supplies at the site in 1959. The Brunswick Corporation sold the facility to AHPC in 1982. AHPC sold the facility to TYCO Industries in March 1998. AHPC, which became Wyeth Pharmaceuticals in 2002, retained responsibility for contamination at the site. In 2007, TYCO Healthcare separated from TYCO Industries and became Covidien Corporation. Covidien Corporation’s current operations at the site include grinding, hub processing and cleaning of stainless steel and aluminum parts used to manufacture hypodermic syringes as well as molding plastic syringes and conducting laboratory work.
