Phosphogypsum stacks are typically constructed at natural grade range in height from 50 feet to 300 feet and can be as large as 900 acres. Process water is contained in a pond or ponds on top of the gypsum stack as free water and in the pores of phosphogyp-sum crystals as interstitial water. Currently in Florida there are 24 phosphogypsum
