It is amazing to me that Mosaic is strip mining 25 square miles of Hillsborough County without any protests. That mining will reach up to 50 feet deep or more…according to Mosaic spokespeople I have questioned. Thousands of acres around my home on the Little Manatee River has been mined. Small springs have been eliminated. Run off of rain into the river has been compromised. I just spoke before a Phosphate hearing master last week where a little under 6,000 acres were being permitted and only 37 people notified. Talk about harm to the aquifer?

The Yuck factor is the first thing that comes to mind. However knowing how long it took Tampa Bay Water to get the De-sal plant up and running(?)and the reservoir – oh what about those cracks????And we would want these people to be in charge of pumping poop into our aquifer? I say no>

Oh good, let’s screw with the environment even more. Reminds me of a story from kindergarten about an old lady who swallowed a fly.
