LAKE: WWALS Southwings flight over Union & Bradford Co. FL Phosphate Mine Site [Up]

Here are aerials of the land the Union County, Florida, Commissioners will be voting on in their Comprehensive Plan, 4:30-9PM, Monday, 17 September 2017, at Union County High School, 1000 S. Lake Avenue, Lake Butler, FL 32054.

There are two facebook events, by Citizens Against Phosphate Mining in North Central Florida and by Our Santa Fe River.

I took these pictures in Union and Bradford Counties, Florida, of the proposed HPS II phosphate mine site, on a Southwings flight for WWALS Watershed Coalition 1 September 2017. You can help figure out what some of them show.

The main conclusion, already published in much briefer form by Jim Tatum with a few pictures he took, is that there was no sign of any heavy equipment or any mining. The pictures here cover the widest area of the overflight, and can serve as a baseline in case anything does happen. More pictures will follow.

The flight crew was:

  • Roy Zimmer, Southwings pilot
  • John S. Quarterman, navigator and photographer
  • Carol Burton, local guide and pathfinder
  • Jim Tatum, photographer and instigator

Thanks to Dr. Steve Pieczenik for a generous contribution to WWALS. And thanks as always to Southwings and Amanda Wheelock for making these flights possible.

GPS

Where I could figure out what I was looking at, I have labeled some of these pictures and corrected their coordinates.

You may recognize places better than I did. If so, click on the small picture to get a bigger picture with a form where you can enter comments and even a suggested latitude and longitude.

We will get to your suggestions as quickly as we can.

Maps

The pictures will make a lot more sense with a map of the proposed mine site, such as this one, which also has the Florida Gas Transmission (FGT) pipeline drawn on it:

FGT drawn on HPS II annotated map

For localization of the photographs I also used:

Some of these pictures from outside the mine site may seem unrelated, but there are large stretches of Union County owned by mine proponents that are west of the proposed mine site, but could be used for expansion. Similarly, there is a large area of Bradford County north of the proposed site owned by another party that could be used for expansion.

The FGT pipeline runs right through the mine site: what could possibly go wrong?

And the towns, the rivers, and the confluence are some of the things that would be affected by phosphate mining.

We flew in a zig-zag pattern from north of Worthington Springs, south down to Flying Tiger Field, east past to the northeast edge of the mine site, down to the FGT Brooker Compressor Station, south to Brooker, north to the northwest corner of the mine site in Bradford County, clockwise up the New River, back down the New River past Worthington Springs, and out.

PS: Why are these pictures on the LAKE website and not the WWALS website? Tedious technical reasons.

PPS: Yes, some of them will also be published on facebook.
