On 4/5/21 at 8:57 PM EDT
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FLDEP) has announced that the toxic seepage from a plastic liner into the wastewater pond at the Piney Point phosphate plant has stopped.
The FLDEP has also said that other engineers and dam safety specialists have determined that there is no second leak in the liner, despite two reports to the contrary by FLDEP and a county public safety director. There have been news reports of a second area of seepage from the east wall of the NGS (new gypsum stack)-South compartment at Piney Point, FLDEP wrote in an update published at 5:11 p.m. on Twitter. These reports are unsubstantiated.
