From today's press conference (Fox News 13 Tampa Bay):
"The wastewater is about as acidic as black coffee and contains elevated levels of phosphate and nitrogen, which can feed the algae that causes red tide."
"The total amount of wastewater that will be released is not final, but it could be as much as 400 million gallons."
"The release is permitted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection under an emergency order issued on Monday to prevent 'a catastrophic release of large amounts of seawater, mixed process water, and embankment materials' from one of the phosphogypsum stacks that has started leaking at the Piney Point facility, which is currently owned by HRK Holdings."
