Still reeling from a disaster it created at a Colorado gold mine, the EPA has so far avoided criticism for a similar toxic waste spill in Georgia.
In Greensboro, EPA-funded contractors grading a toxic 19th-century cotton mill site struck a water main, sending the deadly sediment into a nearby creek. Though that accident took place five months ago, the hazard continues
...
The sediment flows carry dangerous mercury, lead, arsenic and chromium downstream to the Lake Oconee and then to Oconee River — home to many federally and state protected species.
Lead in the soil is 20,000 times higher than federal levels established for drinking water, said microbiologist Dave Lewis, who was a top-level scientist during 31 years at the Environmental Protection Agency.
He became a whistleblower critical of EPA practices .
...
while the nation is transfixed by the bright orange waterways in otherwise pristine Colorado wilderness, little attention has been paid to the unfolding Greensboro disaster.
...
The Environmental Protection Agency has denied — but now admits — that it funded the cleanup and development project the triggered the catastrophe.

You’d almost think that they’re doing this on purpose. Rural cleansing...
Three times is enemy action.

I don’t think it. I will say they ARE doing it on purpose.
Mao, Stalin, bo, ... all great thinkers, identical tactics, actions, and goals.

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
What was the other besides Colorado?
In a just country, all incompetents involved would be thrown in jail for life.
It’ll happen soon. If it hasn’t already.
Lake Ocononee is also home to some REALLY nice homes.
Big recreational lake.
B@stards.
Well well...Seems like the EPA is polluting way more than the businesses and individuals it terrorizes and accuses of “polluting”.
Another incompetent evil agency run by evil & incompetent people.
The EPA wants more money, more employees and more control of us, so a few disasters accomplish all three.
Once is an accident, twice feels deliberate... Wait. Sorry, i agree with you. Your first impression matches mine.
Bastards, everyone connected to these lies should be fired and prosectuted, from Gina McCarthy on down.
Dead on. Manufacture the crisis. Get more money, jobs, power, prestige. No downside, even when caught doing it!
If Joe Citizen did this they would be wearing an ankle bracelet and working 10 jobs to pay the fine. Or in jail.
“In a just country, all incompetents involved would be thrown in jail for life.”
