"now that's epa compliant"

I don't mean to downplay this event at the fertilizer plant but Florida's real problem is the fertilizer run-off pollution problem.

This fertilizer plant is making fertilizer for the sugar and citrus industries in florida who use large amounts to grow their crop.

The fertilizer run-off(nitrates and phosphates) have heavily polluted Florida's surface waters and algae blooms are a major problem.

The municipal water supply companies spend sizable sums cleaning the phosphates and nitrates out of the water before they sell it to consumers.

Many in Florida want agribusiness to pay for this, but politicians get mucho campaign money from agribusiness.
