Note, this is one of the many articles about the pending disaster at Piney Point that WMNF has published over the years. This one is from September 2020. In April 2021, a breach occurred, threatening a possible collapse of a gyp stack. In response, a controlled release of millions of gallons of polluted water is being sent into Port Manatee.
Contaminated water at the former Piney Point phosphate plant is nearing the site’s capacity, putting all of Tampa Bay at risk for an environmental crisis.
