 A Tampa Bay Times article cites that, "studies of waters downstream of phosphate mines have found an increase in heavy metals like lead and studies of aquifers have found chemicals used to process the phosphate, like fuel oil."

Aquifers feed the underground wells that provide drinking water to nearly every household outside the city limits and every home on agricultural land.  If these studies prove true, those responsible are knowingly allowing the possibility of poisoning thousands of citizens.

Central Florida has a long history of phosphate mining, which started as far back as 1883.  There are 27 phosphate mines in Florida.

Horse Creek, the largest Peace River tributary, flows straight through the middle of the proposed DeSoto mining area. Whatever is spilled or leaked or accidentally discharged into Horse Creek flows downstream to the Peace River and into the homes within the city water utilities of Charlotte County.  The standard rule of nature is that water generally flows south.
