Acid rain is only bad for structures. It's good for most plants, many of which do well with lower pH. If pH gets too low some plants get out of their comfort zone and poisons such as aluminum ions can come into solution. Adding acid directly is bad, but this is going to be so diffuse it won't matter. Soil also tends to have a buffering capacity that makes it trend towards neutral. So chances are this is just going to gobble up some buffering capacity and that's it. It will fizz away some lime, basically. There are blueberry farmers that wish a trainload of acidifier would fix their pH. But it takes a lots and lots and lots of material. Impossible amounts.
