AGRICO CHEMICAL COMPANY

The history of the facility began in 1891, with the opening of the Goulding Fertilizer Company. In 1911, the facility was sold to The American Agricultural Chemical Company (TAACC). The operations were then sold to Continental Oil Company in 1963, and the facility operated as a subsidiary to Continental Oil Company known as Agrico Chemical Company. Continental Oil Company is a legacy company to ConocoPhillips, Inc. The Williams Companies, Inc. (Williams) acquired Agrico Chemical Company from Continental Oil Company in 1972. Operations at the plant ceased in 1975, and Williams sold Agrico Chemical Company to Freeport-McMoran Resource Partners (FMRP) in 1987. In 1994, Conoco, Inc. and FMRP entered into a consent agreement with EPA to remediate the site. ConocoPhillips, and Williams acting on behalf of Agrico, managed remediation activities for the Agrico Site and continue to manage the monitoring, maintenance, and regulatory reporting for the site.
