News USG seeks water permit for potential Crystal River plant

USG seeks water permit for potential Crystal River plant

US: United States Gypsum (USG) has applied for a permit to withdraw up to 2.11 million litres/day of water for a gypsum plant near Crystal River in Florida. However, company spokesman Robert Williams said that the plant is not planned in the immediate future.

USG's permit application is pending with the Southwest Florida Water Management District. The district has sent USG a letter seeking more information to make sure that the planned withdrawals won't cause salt-water intrusion or otherwise harm the groundwater.

In 2011 USG purchased 72 hectares near the Progress Energy Florida power complex north of Crystal River to warehouse synthetic gypsum that is created by scrubbers at the coal-burning plants. Progress, whose parent company is Duke Energy, has a contract to sell the gypsum to USG, which is planning to build a warehouse sometime in 2013 to store the product until it is shipped to a wallboard manufacturer.

"USG proposes to construct a state-of-the art facility that is projected to bring 130 new jobs to the area and will incorporate water conservation to the greatest extent feasible," the company's consultant, Progressive Water Resources, wrote in its application letter to the water district. The letter requests a 20-year permit and states it is still negotiating for easements to the well sites and a pipeline that would transport water from the well to the manufacturing centre.
