Contamination from Piney Point has diluted in Tampa Bay, researchers say

Contamination from Piney Point has been diluted in Tampa Bay, researchers say Scientists say early effects of release were not widespread but questions remain.   Updated Just now Contamination levels in part of Tampa Bay have declined since the discharge of polluted water from the old Piney Point fertilizer plant site, researchers said Monday. Initial results show the effects of the release in early April were relatively contained in an area of lower Tampa Bay, according to professors at the University of South Florida College of Marine Science. But many questions remain about the consequences of the spill on fish, seagrasses and what — if any — harm might emerge over time.

Sensitive habitat under pressure from Piney Point wastewater

Teams of scientists are keeping a close watch on the bay as they work to understand the impacts of so much polluted water flowing into the ecosystem. Florida Department of Environmental Protection officials authorized the release of roughly 215 million gallons of wastewater from the Piney Point facility starting March 31 in an emergency response to a leak in a containment pond liner. That leak eventually became a breach, led to the evacuation of hundreds of Manatee County residents from their homes and businesses, local and state-level emergency declarations and the mobilization of a $200 million effort to close Piney Point once and for all.
