Dave Taylor, the retired geologist who predicted the EPA project that caused the 3 million gallon toxic spill into the Animas River in Colorado would fail, tells Breitbart News, “I didn’t really know they were going to fool with the Gold King mine in addition to the Red and Bonita mine.”
In a July 30 letter to the editor of the Silverton Standard, Taylor predicted that the EPA project to plug the Red and Bonita mine would fail “within 7 to 120 days,” and the 500 gallons per minute flow of toxic waste from those mines which the project stopped temporarily would resume again.
Six days later, on August 5, the EPA project caused 3 million gallons of toxic waste to flow into the Animas River.
“The EPA was basically deceptive. They were saying we’re going to plug the Red and Bonita mine with a hydrostatic reinforced concrete plug, then we’re going to see what will happen,” Taylor says in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News.
“The Gold King mine was already plugged by someone else years ago with wood timbers, rocks and mud, and it was exfiltrating an unknown quantity of water, and they decided to remove that old plug so they could see the true quantity of water it was leaking,” according to Taylor.
“That old plug in the Gold King mine was kind of unstable material,” he notes.
“It was incompetent and stupid for them to go up to that existing plug and try to remove it without knowing how much water was upstream and behind it and what the hydrostatic pressure was,” Taylor says.

They should have read the UN Agenda 21 “Turtle Island provision” and asked themselves how it is you get people off land slated for zero human habitation against their will.
Poisoning their water has a long history of success in doing that.
If this had happened 10 years ago it would be the Bush Mine disaster under the Bush EPA.
That’s right.
Most people think it’s tinfoil but the Turtle Island project is real and part of the Wildlands project under A21. It has never been hidden and in all the official docs. Within 50 years, the plan calls for under 500,000 people in the USA.
If people look at the BLM closure maps, current and projected, you will see that they are mirror images.
I said this same thing on a thread a couple of days ago. How anyone with a lick of sense go poking around a leaking mine without first knowing how much water might be behind that leak.
If they were warned before hand it makes this spill the results of criminal negligence.
They breached an existing bulkhead? &”@#%£ Wish I could understand these people. Then again maybe I don’t.
So this guy was wrong, he said it would take 7 days.
(and yes, I am being sarcastic)
My question of the day is how come every department in Obama’s government appears to be headed up by a hatchet-faced old Marxist dyke with short-cropped white hair?
Is it a new rule or something?
Exactly. Very good.
And another thing: if this had happened ten years ago, some "researcher" would have immediately stepped forward to reveal that this accident was "a perfect storm" environmental disaster that threatened to destroy the only known habitat in the world for the rare Musto Rat Anal Borer, an important species of parasitic worm that is the only remaining source of an important chromosome that may contain the Cure For AIDS.
Hey, they're Flaming LIBERALS, you can't make them THINK!
“It was incompetent and stupid for them to go up to that existing plug and try to remove it without knowing how much water was upstream and behind it and what the hydrostatic pressure was.”
The common resonse is anger.
Every liberal there is regardless of whose wife, husband, child or cousin, mothers and fathers included, needs to be put in cages for the safety of the human race.
No exceptions. Since you can’t legally kill or medically cure them, contain them and charge admission to a vast liberal zoo to offset the cost of their damage to the world.
True enough. Maybe a few will wake up.
Obama will probably get us nuked and that will help their plans along. But some of them would get fried along with the rest of us. I doubt if they realize that.
That is an important question!
We need a special prosecutor. This is an obvious case of discrimination of competent white males!
The rule has been around a long time (see Reno, J.) Enforcement is just a higher priority now.
You have to pull the plug to find out what’s behind it.
Useful idiots never think they are not one of the elite. Ever. Its why they are so easily used.
It’s a case of “we’re important we don’t have to find out first”.
I’ve seen it many time when some nitwit was given a position of what they thought was authority over others.
