Nearly catastrophic Piney Point wastewater leak could irreparably harm neighboring marine life, experts say

Nearly catastrophic Piney Point wastewater leak could irreparably harm neighboring marine life, experts say By Li Cohen April 10, 2021 / 6:06 PM / CBS News Florida officials have been scrambling over the past week after a wastewater pond at the former Piney Point phosphate mining facility sprung a major leak a situation officials described as a potential catastrophe. While officials have managed to drain the reservoir enough so that a tidal wave of wastewater did not flood the area, experts told CBS News that the threat to the environment remains. Residents who live immediately around the area are physically safe for the time being, state officials said, but millions of gallons of water have flowed into the ground and local waterways, and millions more were pumped directly into Port Manatee, an entrance to Tampa Bay on Florida s west coast, to prevent the reservoir from collapsing.

Officials work to repair source of major leak in Florida wastewater reserve

Officials work to repair source of major leak in Florida wastewater reserve By Li Cohen April 8, 2021 / 10:10 PM / CBS News The Florida wastewater reservoir that has been leaking since late March is now undergoing repairs, officials said Thursday. The source of the leak, which has resulted in millions of gallons being dumped into a local port, was identified Wednesday, and crew members continue to work around the clock to repair it, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection said. A small leak was first noticed at Piney Point, the former phosphate mining facility, near the end of March, but it quickly worsened. On Easter weekend, more than 300 households were forced to evacuate as officials feared the reservoir would collapse. Residents were allowed to return home Tuesday as the risk of a catastrophic collapse lessened, although many are concerned about what could still lie ahead.
