t.h. agriculture & nutrition co. (albany plant)

1401 SCHLEY AVE

The 12-acre site is located north of Interstate 82 and Schley Avenue and east of Palmyra Road in a commercial and industrial area of Albany, Georgia. A few residences are also located northeast of the site. The site includes two former pesticide formulation facilities located on two adjacent properties. The western 7-acre property (also referred to as the T H Agriculture & Nutrition, or THAN, property) is located at 1401 Schley Avenue. The eastern 5-acre property (also referred to as the Jones property) is located at 1359 Schley Avenue. Companies used the western property as a formulation and packaging plant for agricultural chemicals from the 1950s until 1982. Currently, a warehouse that houses a ground water treatment system is located on the property; the rest of the property is vacant. The property is fenced and has a locked gate. The current landowners do not have any plans to lease or redevelop the property in the near future. Companies used the eastern property as a formulation and packaging plant for agricultural chemicals from 1964 into the 1970s. In 1985, the owner sold the property. The new owner did not contribute to the contamination, but has been involved at the site since its discovery. Since 1985, this owner has operated a welding supply business on the property. The property is largely fenced except for the entrance to the business and parking lot. There is no anticipated change in land use or ownership for the property in the near term. In 1989, EPA listed the site on the NPL.
