OriginClear Offers Free Advice to Piney Point Reservoir Owners on Emergency Repairs to Remediate Toxic Waste Leaks

OriginClear Tech, a division of OriginClear Inc. (OTC Pink: OCLN), a leading provider of water treatment solutions, offered to advise at no expense the owners of Tampa Bay’s old Piney Point phosphate plant on the best method to remediate the toxic waste leak and emergency discharge of an estimated 38 million gallons per day into the Bay.

OriginClear also said proposals being offered to remedy the situation were all way too high and the emergency could be remediated at far less cost, which OriginClear said it could accomplish itself at a fraction of what other companies are proposing.

On March 26, 2021, a retention pond at Piney Point was breached and cordoned off. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection reports that while some wastewater has been contained on site, roughly 173 million gallons of untreated wastewater have still been discharged into the bay.

“This is a major disaster,” said Tom Marchesello, OriginClear Chief Operating Officer, “and it is our duty to help however we can.” He addressed this offer to New York investor William “Mickey” F. Harley III, the listed owner of HRK Holdings, which owns the troubled Piney Point phosphate plant site leaking polluted wastewater.
