HRK warned of disaster at Piney Point for months and asked for help, now DEP says they’re on the hook
Share this:
HRK holdings spent months warning Manatee commissioners and state officials of impending disaster at Piney Point. Despite the pleas for help, Florida officials said HRK will be on the hook for a narrowly avoided catastrophe at the shuddered phosphate plant that it owns.
Florida DEP head Noah Valenstein said a legal team in Tallahassee is working just as hard as crews on the ground at Piney Point cleaning the spill.

“We also have a team of attorneys back at Tallahassee that are making sure they take advantage of all the information we’re collecting,” he said. “To then put together a case to hold HRK fully accountable.”
The state agency tasked with cleaning up the environmental disaster at Piney Point contributed to many of the problems at the site, critics say, raising questions about the effectiveness of Florida’s environmental regulations.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection on Friday stopped the flow of untreated wastewater from Piney Point into Tampa Bay and is working to implement a long-term solution, while also pledging to hold property owner HRK Holdings responsible for the disaster.
Yet it was DEP’s own decisions that helped push the problems at the former fertilizer plant property to another breaking point, according to some environmental advocates and public officials.
