Piney Point: With more pumps in place, attention shifts to environmental impact

Work continues at Piney Point to deal with a massive wastewater spill.
PALMETTO, Fla. - As of Tuesday morning, new pumps are now in place to help drain contaminated water left over from the former Piney Point phosphate plant to relieve pressure off the containment wall.
Federal engineers are using four major lines and many smaller pumps to drain the reservoir which holds a mix of seawater, rainwater, and wastewater from the old fertilizer plant.
Workers installed new pumps to ramp up efforts to drain millions of gallons of contaminated water to Port Manatee. There are 26 pumps and 10 vacuum trucks in place.
South Florida Water Management District governing board members approved a substantial $175.8 million contract Thursday to finish their part of a fast-tracked reservoir project south of Lake Okeechobee that is expected to reduce harmful discharges to northern estuaries.
The unanimous vote dedicates the money to finish a 6,500-acre stormwater treatment area in western Palm Beach County to filter nutrients from lake water before it goes south to the Everglades.
It is part of an ambitious $1.6 billion project that includes the treatment area and a 10,500-acre reservoir, also in Palm Beach County, that should mitigate the amount of algae-tainted water that is dumped in the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee estuaries when Lake Okeechobee is too full.
