Tampa Bay

The state says that 223 million gallons remain in the reservoir that had started leaking over a week ago.

The state had been releasing up to 50 million gallons a day from the reservoir. The flow is now down to 5 million gallons a day, which will be treated before it enters Tampa Bay.

The main concern at Piney Point right now is to stop the south pond from collapsing, according to one expert. If it does, that could potentially release heavy metals and slightly radioactive material from two surrounding ponds into Tampa Bay.

The leak could signal a repeat of a breach in the gypstack retention pond that killed untold numbers of fish and marine life a decade ago.

It's partly attributed to cars on the numerous bridges in the area that are helping to feed algae blooms.
