Back-to-back historic storms crossed Mosaic's operational areas. The companies sites withstood the conditions with few challenges. The Riverview site, which has operated on Tampa Bay for the last century, received nearly 15 inches of rain during Hurricane Milton less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene.
A water collection system supporting the closed gypstack became overwhelmed, pushing excess water out a manhole on the property. At this time, the company believes some of that impacted stormwater made its way to an outfall which discharges into Tampa Bay. The issue was addressed and is not continuing. The volume may have been greater than the 17 500 gallon reporting standard. Mosaic expect water quality impacts, if any, to be modest.
The company have been in constant communication with regulators who have been onsite.
