Engineers find no evidence of second breach in Florida wastewater pond that threatens to break
Officials said Monday there is no second breach in a Florida wastewater reservoir containment wall that is in danger of collapsing, according to the state’s Department of Environmental Protection.
Earlier Monday, an infrared drone detected a possible second breach in the containment wall of the Piney Point wastewater pond, officials said — creating what the governor has called a “real catastrophic flood situation.”
But the Florida DEP said in an afternoon update the technical working group that includes engineers and dam safety specialists from a host of different state, federal and other third-party groups determined the site was safe for continued work.
