alafia river ammonia leak info online
Looking for buried treasure, a 16 year old boy drilled a hole into an ammonia pipeline over the Alafia River in Riverview. The resulting leak of ammonia has caused hundreds of residents to be relocated while officials monitor the dangerous ammonia cloud and repair the damage to the pipeline. Some Riverview residents have not been home for two nights now.
The leak has also closed area roads and schools, sent a couple people to the hospital, may be killing fish in the river, and raised questions about all pipelines throughout Tampa Bay,
So far, the St. Pete Times / TampaBay.com has the most information available in an easy to read and easy to find format. Check out the special report: Riverview Ammonia Leak.
TBO has a quiz you can take about the effects of ammonia, a link to the CDC’s ammonia page, and NewsChannel 8 has a video report on the company that owns the pipelines.
The Times also has comprehensive maps of the area, along with school closings and the evacuation zone. TBO’s map contains some errors - the markers for Spoto High School and Children’s First Academy are incorrectly on the bridge where the ammonia leak occurred.
