Notice of Pending Approval for Other 

Use of Phosphogypsum; Extension of 

Public Comment Period 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (the EPA or the Agency) 

continues to seek public comment on its 

pending approval of a request for a 

Small-scale Road Pilot Project on 

Private Land in Florida submitted by 

Mosaic Fertilizer, LLC in March 2022, 

and updated by the Revised Request for 

Approval of Use of Phosphogypsum in 

Small-scale Pilot Project, submitted in 

August 2023. The Agency’s review 

found that Mosaic’s request is complete 

per the requirements of EPA’s National 

Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants under the Clean Air Act, and 

that the potential radiological risks from 

conducting the pilot project meet the 

regulatory requirement that the project 

is at least as protective of public health 

as maintaining the phosphogypsum in a 

stack. On October 1, 2024, the EPA 

issued a pending approval of the request 

subject to certain conditions, and also 

opened a 30-day public comment 

period. With this notice, the Agency is 

soliciting public comments for an 

additional 15 days.

II. Background 

Phosphogypsum is the waste 

byproduct of wet acid phosphorous 

production. It contains elevated 

concentrations of the radionuclide 

radium, which decays to form radon 

gas. The EPA’s regulations under the 

Clean Air Act at 40 CFR part 61, subpart 

R (hereafter ‘‘Subpart R’’) require that 

phosphogypsum must be disposed of in 

engineered piles, called stacks, to limit 

public exposure to its radioactive 

components. Subpart R allows the 

removal of phosphogypsum from stacks 

for outdoor agricultural purposes and 

indoor research and development, 

subject to conditions and restrictions. 

Any other use of phosphogypsum 

requires prior approval from the EPA. 

The EPA may approve a request for a 

specific use of phosphogypsum if it 

determines that the proposed use is at 

least as protective of public health as 

placement of phosphogypsum in a 

stack. The processes for requesting such 

an approval are described in 40 CFR 

61.206. 

Mosaic Fertilizer, LLC submitted a 

request for a Small-scale Road Pilot 

Project on Private Land in Florida in 

March 2022, and submitted a Revised 

Request for Approval of Use of 

Phosphogypsum in Small-scale Pilot 

Project in August 2023. Mosaic has 

proposed to construct a small-scale pilot 

project at its New Wales facility in Polk 

County, Florida. Mosaic’s plan is to 

construct four sections of test road 

having varying mixtures of 

phosphogypsum (PG) in the road base 

‘‘to demonstrate the range of PG road 

construction designs that meet the 

Florida Standard Specifications for 

Road and Bridge construction.’’ The 

pilot project will be constructed in the 

place of an existing facility road near 

the phosphogypsum stack, and the 

study will be conducted in conjunction 

with researchers from the University of 

Florida. 

The EPA has performed a complete 

review of Mosaic’s request, documented 

in Review of the Small-scale Road Pilot 

Project on Private Land in Florida 

Submitted by Mosaic Fertilizer, LLC. 

The Agency’s review found that 

Mosaic’s request is complete per the 

requirements of 40 CFR 61.206(b). 

Further, the review found that Mosaic’s 

risk assessment is technically 

acceptable, and that the potential 

radiological risks from the proposed 

project meet the regulatory requirements 

of 40 CFR 61.206(c); that is, the project 

is at least as protective of public health 

as maintaining the phosphogypsum in a 

stack. Therefore, the Agency has issued 

a pending approval of the small-scale 

pilot project per 40 CFR 61.206. The 

pending approval and all supporting 

documentation are available via the 

regulations.gov website 

(www.regulations.gov; Docket ID: EPA– 

HQ–OAR–2024–0446). This approval 

initially was pending a 30-day public 

comment period; with today’s notice, 

the Agency is extending the comment 

period by an additional 15 days. 

Approval by the Agency is specific to 

the pilot project as described in the 

Mosaic request and indicates only that 

this project meets the approval 

requirements of Subpart R. 

III. Request for Comments 

The Agency is continuing to solicit 

public comment on its pending 

approval until November 23, 2024. 

Upon receipt of public comments, the 

EPA will review them for relevance to 

the pending design and determine if 

they contain information that would 

lead to a concern for human health or 

environmental impacts not previously 

considered. Comments must be specific 

to the small-scale pilot project as it is 

described in Mosaic’s request and the 

EPA’s pending approval. Should the 

EPA receive significant adverse 

comments on aspects of this specific

pilot project, the Agency will give the 

applicant the opportunity to amend the 

analysis or request. If the comments can 

be successfully addressed, the EPA will 

publish a response to comments and 

notify the public. The Agency’s decision 

to approve or deny a request for other 

use under 40 CFR 61.206 is not a 

rulemaking. The EPA’s complete 

process of soliciting and addressing 

comments is described in Section 2.4 of 

Applying to EPA for Approval of Other 

Uses of Phosphogypsum: Preparing and 

Submitting a Complete Petition Under
