/ Manatee County Commission Chairwoman Vanessa Baugh said the commission voted to pump the remaining water from the phosphogypsum stacks at Piney Point into a deep injection well on nearby county-owned land.
Acting Manatee County Administrator Scott Hopes says it appears workers at the site have been able to bring the situation under control.
Now that a mandatory evacuation order has been lifted and a major roadway is open, optimism remains high that crews will be able to contain a leak at the Piney Point processing plant in Manatee County.
At a press conference Tuesday, officials said more than two dozen pumps are pumping out around 100 million gallons of wastewater each day much higher than earlier levels.
