The EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler under the Trump asministration, approved this use in the following statement: “The approval of this request means that phosphogypsum, which already requires significant engineering and regulatory controls to be disposed of in stacks, can now be put to productive use rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure. This demonstrates President Trump’s commitment to “win-win” environmental solutions.”

I can't help but think about another statement: "Everything Trump touches, dies."
