Response teams in Manatee County Florida are trying to prevent a "real catastrophic flood situation" in the Piney Point reservoir area, Gov. Ron DeSantis said Sunday after taking an aerial tour the area.
The governor assured the public that the water being discharged to nearby Port Manatee is not radioactive. The Manatee County Public Safety Department declared a state of emergency on Saturday and ordered a complete evacuation of the Piney Point reservoir site and surrounding areas due a leak that could cause a collapse of phosphogypsum stacks, radioactive waste that is created during fertilizer production and phosphate rock mining.More Related News
