Wastewater Spill Reported At Gulf Power’s Plant Crist
November 8, 2019
Thousands of gallons of wastewater spilled Thursday at Gulf Power’s Plant Crist.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection said a release of industrial wastewater occurred as a result of malfunction of an air relief valve on the ECUA return water line the power plant.
In response to the incident, Gulf Power isolated the valve and shut-off flow through the line. It is estimated that up to approximately 9,000 gallons was released to the surrounding ground surface over approximately 90 minutes, with a small amount captured by the industrial wastewater system. There was no direct discharge to surface water or wetlands.
