Gypstacks are an on-going danger to humans, animals and our water. Tremendous fish-kills have happened in Tampa Bay, and the DEP has dumped huge amounts of radioactive wastewater into the Gulf of Mexico. Huge sinkholes have opened transmitting toxic waste water into the aquifer where is it nearly impossible to retrieve. Our past government in Washington even proposed a plan to distribute toxic phosphogypsum into our roads, where rains would wash it into our waterways.
Meanwhile mining goes on and the gypstacks rise higher.
