Lawsuit filed against Mosaic for contamination of Floridan aquifer:
A class-action lawsuit was filed on behalf of three residents who live near the massive sinkhole that opened at Mosaic New Wales, a phosphate fertilizer plant in Polk County, dumping at least 215 million gallons of contaminated water into the state's main drinking source. Company and state officials dug themselves into a deeper hole than they already had after the Tampa Bay Times reported that neither Mosaic nor three governmental agencies let nearby residents know about the contamination. A spokeswoman for Florida's Department of Environmental Protection says it's not a legal requirement because the pollution didn't migrate outside the property where it went into the aquifer. Common courtesy is also not legally binding, but it may be something the DEP might want to look up.
