Pass it all the time - what is it?


fluorogypsum
part of it is a byproduct of making HF at Honeywell, some of it is from PCS I think from their ammonia plant

if you turn down 3115 and go to river road, on your left will huge mounds of fluorogypsum before reacted

And it's only getting bigger, they got approved to double the height of the "mountain".
