If I look on a satellite map of Sanford, FL there is a industrial plant or something west of US 17-92 and Monroe Lake. Barwick Road is north of the thing.

Anyone know what it is? If it is a power plant, does anyone know what it burns as fuel?

There is a power plant at the edge of Lake Monroe. It's an older plant that was there when I lived there back in the 70's. I did a bit of research and it appears that it is currently burning oil but there are plans to convert it to natural gas. I found this on the FPL website:

"We recently announced plans to “repower” two of our older oil-burning facilities at Fort Myers and Sanford and convert them to burn natural gas. "


I don't recall that it was ever an issue when I lived there.

Default What is it? II

Got another one.

West side of Orange City, north of W Fern St, south of W French Ave. There is a pile of sand with maybe a little water too. There's also what looks to be a small building there.

What is that?
