Saw this today, mining project disguised as a water resource project?

Proposal to mine in the Everglades withdrawn for now

 

So the taxpayers are paying billions to build water storage areas that someone is willing to build for free in exchange for the limerock and this is bad why? The market needs the resource, it eliminates sugar cane farming there, and provides millions of acre feet of storage area for free in lieu of taxpayers funding additional WSA's to prevent lake O discharges to the coasts. Tell me why that's a bad thing.

 

I am just guessing here that mining the limestone would hurt the aquifer that it was withdrawn so quickly shows there was something wrong going on.
