Piney Point Toxic Runoff Stopped, County Officials Confirm No Second Leak
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.
“No one from the Governors [sic] office suggested Publix. It’s just absolute malarkey,” Mr. Moskowitz tweeted.
Another Democrat, Palm Beach County Mayor Dave Kerner, said in a Monday statement that the “60 Minutes” reporting was “not just based on bad information it was intentionally false.”
Mr. DeSantis touted Monday the state’s focus on vaccinating seniors, saying that “what we did has worked.”
“And obviously they were in Florida for three months, 60 Minutes, trying to drudge up any dirt that they could to smear me and the best they could come up with was a baseless conspiracy theory that was easily debunked, not just by me, which they had to edit out, but two very prominent Democrats in the state of Florida,” said Mr. DeSantis on Fox’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
