BEFORE THE STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN THE OFFICE OF THE DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, vs. OGC FILE NO. 16-1356 MOSAIC FERTILIZER, LLC CONSENT ORDER This Consent Order (Order) is entered into between the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Department) and Mosaic Fertilizer, LLC (Respondent or Mosaic) to resolve the violations alleged in this Order. ‘The Department finds and Respondent admits to the following: 1. The Departments the administrative agency of the State of Florida having the power and duty to protect Florida's air and water resources and to administer and enforce the provisions of Chapter 403, Florida Statutes (Fla. Stat), and the rules promulgated and authorized in Title 62, Florida Administrative Code (Fla. Admin. Code). The Department has jurisdiction over the matters addressed in this Order, and through it, has diligently enforeed and will continue to diligently enforce such matters. 2. Respondent is a person within the meaning of section 403.031(5), Fla. Stat. 3. Respondent currently operates the Mosaic - New Wales facility (Facility), under Department Wastewater Permit No. FL0036421 (Permit), which expires on June 23, 2018. The Facility also operates subject to the requirements of a Consent Decree entered into with the DEP vs. Mosaic Fertilizer, LLC Consent Order, OGC No. 16-1356 Page 2 United States of America and the Department, Civil Action No. 8:15-cv-02286JDW-TEM, (hereinafter RCRA Consent Decree). The Facility is situated on real property located at 3095 State Road 640 West, approximately five miles southwest of the town of Mulberry in Polk County, Florida, at approximately, Latitude: 27° 49’ 57.68” North and Longitude: 82° 03’ 11.26” (Property). 4 Respondent owns the Property and is both the owner and operator of the Facility. 5. Operations at the Facility include but are not limited to the manufacturing of sulfuric and phosphoric acid and the production of ammoniated phosphate fertilizers and animal-feed ingredients (collectively Processes). Phosphogypsum is produced as aby-product of the phosphoric acid production and pursuant to Permit is disposed of onsite by stacking the phosphogypsum ina lined 704acre phosphogypsum stack storage area. 6 The phosphogypsum stack system is comprised of a 280-acre unlined cooling pond system, a 94acre below-grade unlined Auxiliary Holding Pond (AHP), two awzliary process water storage ponds AHP-1 and AHP-2 totaling 70 acres on top of the closed North Phosphogypsum Stack, and a 704acre lined combined Phase I (394 acres) and Phase II (310 acres) South Phosphogypsum Stack. The lined Phase I and Phase II areas of the South Phosphogypsum Stack were originally constructed in 1992 and 2003, respectively. The South Phosphogypsum Stack also includes a 19-acre lined emergency process water storage pond designated AHP-3. The 394acre North Phosphogypsum Stack is closed. 7. Wastewater is generated from the Processes. Storm water runoff from the closed North Phosphogypsum Stack and the active South Phosphogypsum Stack is also generated and managed at the Facility. 8 The Facility is authorized to discharge to surface waters and groundwaters of the State of Florida only in accordance with the terms, conditions, and limitations of the Permit. The Facility is an existing installation as defined by Fla. Admin. Code R. 62- 520.200(10). DEP vs. Mosaic Fertilizer, LLC Consent Order, OGC No. 16-1356 Page 3 9. The Permit authorizes a groundwater zone of discharge (ZOD) of specific horizontal and vertical dimensions. The provisions under the Permit for the vertical ZOD prohibit discharges of process water from the Facility to the Floridan Aquifer. The regional groundwater flow direction in the Floridan Aquifer is to the west in the vicinity of and downgradient from the Facility. 10. ‘The Permit authorizes various operations of the Facility and limited discharges. ‘The Permit also authorizes operation of the South Phosphogypsum Stack system subject to associated regulatory and other process water management requirements. 11. The Respondent has asserted that the facts, allegations, and findings in paragraphs 12 through 19 of this Order occurred as a result of circumstances beyond its control that constitute a force majeure under the RCRA Consent Decree. ‘The Department finds and Respondent neither admits nor denies the following: 12. On August 28, 2016, as required by Fla. Admin. Code R. 62-672.770(6), and the RCRA Consent Decree, Respondent notified the Department and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) of suspected damage to the liner system (a critical condition under Fla. Admin. Code R. 62-672.770(6) and the RCRA Consent Decree), based ona steady decline of the water level within the Phase II West settling compartment (West Cell) of the Facility’s lined South Phosphogypsum Stack system. On August 28, 2016, Department staff directed and confirmed that Mosaic was initiating appropriate response actions to the reported critical condition. 13. On August 29, 2016, as required by the Permit, Respondent notified the State Watch Office and confirmed the release of a reportable quantity to the National Response Center, Within 24 hours of the initial notification of a critical condition on August 28, 2016, Department staff first inspected the South Phosphogypsum Stack and Mosaic’s activities on August 29, 2016. On September 3, 2016, the Respondent timely submitted a report (7-Day Report) indicating that the Water Loss Incident (WLI) reported on August 28, 2016, was potentially due to abreach in the underlying HDPE liner that may have been caused by a subsurface anomaly likely connected to the Floridan Aquifer. The 7-Day Report also satisfied DEP vs. Mosaic Fertilizer, LLC Consent Order, OGC No. 16-1356 Page 4 the Permit general condition number 20 for a written follow-up report within 5 days from the reported wastewater release on August 29. The 7-Day Report also provided an upper bound estimate that the WLI could result in the potential loss of 784 acre-feet (~ 255 million gallons) of process water to groundwater. Ina subsequent correspondence on September 7, 2016, Respondent indicated that due to transferring 40 million gallons of water from the West Cell to the adjacent East Cell, the upper bound estimate of water loss was 215 million gallons. 14 As of September 6, the West Cell no longer contained ponded process water, and, as aresult, the sinkhole became visible for the first time. On September 7, 2016, Respondent provided to the Department an aerial photograph, taken on the afternoon of September 6, of the sinkhole feature in the West Cell. 15. OnSeptember 10, 2016, Respondent completed work initiated on August 31, 2016, to provide supplemental recovery well operations and placed the P-4 production well into service. To date, monitoring information indicates that onsite process water recovery efforts are working, and the WLI has not impacted groundwater quality beyond the Facility. Notwithstanding that process water has only been detected onsite, Respondent voluntarily began offering third-party testing of private drinking water wells in the community on September 16, 2016, in consultation with the Department. 16. The WLI resulted ina discharge to the Floridan Aquifer of approximately 215 million gallons of acidic process water, plus ongoing seepage discharge (collectively Discharge). Ongoing seepage to be captured by the groundwater recovery system, consisting of released pore water from the phosphogypsum stack, has been estimated to average less than 200 gallons per minute over the expected repair period. 17. The Discharge is outside the vertical zone of discharge as described and authorized in section IV of the Permit. Therefore, the WLI meets the definition of a “discharge” pursuant to 376.301(13) Fla Stat,, and the location of the Discharge where the exceedance of groundwater standards outside the vertical zone of discharge occurred meets the definitions of “contaminated site” pursuant to 376.301(11) Fla. Stat. and “site” pursuant to Fla. Admin. Code R 62-780.200(43). DEP vs. Mosaic Fertilizer, LLC Consent Order, OGC No. 16-1356 Page 5 18. Due to the Discharge, the Facility is currently not being maintained or operated in amanner consistent with the applicable terms of its Permit, and as such is in violation of Fla, Admin. Code R. 62-620.300(5) and 403.161(1)(b), Fla. Stat. 19. The Discharge is a violation of groundwater standards which is a violation of Permit condition IIL.B.8 and III.B.9, Fla. Admin. Code R. 62-520.420, and section 403.088(1) and 403.161(1)(b), Fla. Stat. Having reached a resolution of the matter, the Department and the Respondent mutually agree that this Order resolves the violations identified above and addressed herein at the Facility. This Order is also considered a Cleanup Agreement Document (CAD) pursuant to Fla, Admin. Code R 62-780.200(8) and is intended to address the site rehabilitation requirements of Chapter 62-780, Fla. Admin. Code, and is also intended to address the site assessment and corrective action work requirements under paragraph 20 of the RCRA Consent Decree; however, nothing herein shall affect the USEP.A’s residual authorities as referenced in paragraphs 20, 23, and 82 of the RCRA Consent Decree, nor shall this Order in any way affect the USEPA’s rights under the RCRA Consent Decree. In addition to foregoing requirements, the Respondent has agreed to plan and conduct additional hydrogeological and geotechnical site investigations at its Facility and its other active phosphogypsum stack systems in Florida as set forth herein. Itis the Respondent's contention that neither this Order nor actions taken hereunder shall constitute an admission by the Respondent of liability for any wrongdoing regarding any of the events leading up to the signing of the Order. Accordingly, the Respondent does not admit, by signature of this Order or otherwise, that it has violated any statute or rule promulgated thereunder. The parties are entering into this Order to enable the activities described in or authorized by this Order to be implemented in an expedited manner without resort to litigation, which could delay such implementation. Therefore, itis ORDERED: DEP vs. Mosaic Fertilizer, LLC Consent Order, OGC No. 16-1356 Page 6 Approval Procedure 20.

The proposal was prepared by Ardaman and Associates, Inc., on behalf of Mosaic and has been attached to this correspondence for reference. The proposed well locations are intended to provide additional assurance that process water associated with the sinkhole release is being captured and contained onsite over the long term by pumping of the recovery well P-4, We sincerely appreciate the time and effort provided in discussing the proposal and associated monitoring efforts with the Department on the afternoon of September 21. Based upon review of the submittal, the proposed well installations are approved contingent on the following conditions: + Once successfully developed and installed, the wells identified as NWC-40-F2, NWC-41-F2, NWC-43-F1, and NWC-43-F 1, will be included in the facility's approved ground water monitoring plan (GWMP). They shall be monitored for the same parameters and frequency of sampling as the existing wells. ‘+ Mosaic shall mobilize initial drilling equipment and crew to the site for installation of the wells identified above as soon as possible, but no later than 21 days of this approval. We also appreciate the information provided ona planned additional backup production well and understand that Mosaic shall initiate permitting efforts with the Southwest Florida Water Management District for inclusion of the proposed production well P-5 in the facility's water use permit. Please keep the Department apprised on the permitting progress for this well. Upon inclusion of the production well in the water use permit, please provide a timeframe for installation of the well and associated infrastructure to allow for its future operation. We appreciate your time and efforts in developing this proposal for the additional monitoring wells. If you have any questions regarding the above please do not hesitate to contact me.

These locations have been reviewed with and approved by the Mosaic team so this transmittal can now be relayed to the FDEP for their approval The proposed wells in Figure 1 consist of 1. Two 700-ft+ deep Floridan Aquifer wells designated NWC-40-F2 and NWC-41- F2 located due south and along the same N-S trending alignment as existing Floridan Aquifer deep monitor wells NWC-31-F2 and NWC-32-F2 (see Figure 2). The new wells would use the same design as NWC-31-F2 and NWC-32- F2 and would be sampled for water quality. These series of 4 wells (2 existing and 2 proposed) are located beyond the zone of capture of the plant production (and standby production) wells to confirm that the water quality at these downgradient locations well within Mosaic property is not impacted, and that the plume is being effectively captured by the plant recovery wells. 2. Two 350-ft+ relatively “shallow’ Floridan Aquifer wells designated NWC-42-F1 and NWC-43-F 1 located in accessible locations at the southwest and southeast corners of Phase Il (corresponding to the northwest and northeast comers of the future Phase Il extension) that would be used to confirm the measured ZOC of P4, and would also be available for water quality sampling should the need arise. The design of these wells would be consistent with that of other F1 wells at the site 3. Finally, we have shown a proposed location for Future Standby Production Well P-5 that could be installed as a precautionary measure at a later date in conjunction with the Phase il extension permitting, The ZOC of this future well would encompass the Phase II lined stack and all of the Phase Il and Phase IV future stack extension foatprints. This standby production well will be installed at a later date. Its zone of capture is depicted in Figure 3 and itis, located upgradient of praposed monitor wells NWC-40-F2 and NWC-41-F2 | trust that the FDEP will find the proposed well locations responsive to their request and that Mosaic could then proceed with selection of a Contractor for the well installations.

The PS well will be installed at the location shown on the attached Figure. The specifications of the Proposed P-5 Production well installation are as follows: Location: Northing 1261680.7197; Easting 640344.4268 40” bore hole drilled for surface casing installation from approximately 0” to 80° Installation of 36” diameter standard wall steel surface casing from approximately 0° to 80° Cement Grout emplaced for surface casing (Type Il) 20” pilot hole drilled for primary casing from approximately 80° to 300° 36” holed reamed for primary casing from approximately 80° to 300° Installation of 24” diameter primary casing (fiberglass) from approximately 0” to 300° Cement Grout emplaced for primary casing (Type II) 24” open bore hole drilled from approximately 300° to 750° Well development will occur following completion of installation Exact configuration of well and depth cannot be determined until drilling, as they will be dependent on geology. Notes: (1) The location of the well may need to be adjusted slightly to accommodate equipment and drill rig positioning. (2) Core sampling will be performed from approximately 250° to 300’ BLS. (3) The depth of casing methods and depth of open bore hole are subject to change pending results of coring activities to observe the depth to Tampa Clay and Suwannee Limestone (stratigraphy may be different) Upon completion of well installation, Mosaic will install certain infrastructure which will include a concrete pad to accommodate an electric pump (specifications to be provide at a later date). Please note that the specifications of the pump, piping and power feed are still in the engineering evaluation and review phases and are subject to change.
