sinkhole at fertilizer plant causes leakage into water supply
sinkhole at fertilizer plant causes leakage into water supply
from link:
The Minnesota-based company said it first noticed the pond's water level dropping in late August and immediately reported the finding to state and federal environmental authorities. They later confirmed that a sinkhole spanning almost 14 meters (45 feet) had opened up at the base of a gypsum stack - essentially a hill of hazardous waste - causing the pond above it to drain.
Seriously was noticed three weeks ago and we are just hearing about it now?
Maybe it'll kill the toxic algae and keep things in balance...

Not sure on the exact algae situation in Florida, but one of the causes of toxic algae is fertilizer, both domestic lawn and agricultural mass application. So I doubt it.
Moral the story, if you have to apply fertilizer to the lawn, don't apply too much.

215 million gallons is more than a bit too much.
