Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (the EPA or the Agency) seeks public comment on its pending approval of a request for a Small-scale Road Pilot Project on Private Land in Florida submitted by Mosaic Fertilizer, LLC in March 2022, and updated by the Revised Request for Approval of Use of Phosphogypsum in Small-scale Pilot Project, submitted in August 2023. The Agency’s review found that Mosaic’s request is complete per the requirements of 40 CFR 61.206(b), and that the potential radiological risks from conducting the pilot project meet the regulatory requirements of 40 CFR 61.206(c); that is, the project is at least as protective of public health as maintaining the phosphogypsum in a stack. The EPA is soliciting public comments on the pending approval.
