All the crap seems to be rising to the surface very conveniently as Donald Trump walks up with a skimmer.

And there will still be people who will call the advent of Donald Trump to be blind coinki-dink.

And the Animas River in the canyon is coated with red/orange sludge that isn’t coming off.

I also know someone prosecuted by EPA for somethign someone else did. EPA spent more than two years with several FBI agents for the investigation of two gallons of paint solvent dumped into a disposal facility by a malicious employee.

EPA needs to die. Worst thing Nixon ever did.

That red sludge should result in an additional suit and a requirement to clean. I have no idea how they’d do that, but it provide a lot of jobs for college kids for a year or two scrubbing rock.

The taxpayers will pay the “fine” as we will pay for the Ferguson water cleanup.

Trump should take a page out of Obama’s playbook. Immediately after Trump is sworn in instruct his Justice Department to enter into an agreed judgment holding the EPA liable and gutting it. By way of damages direct most of the EPA’s budget to various conservative organizations.

Not only should the "EPA" be held accountable, but so should the individual people responsible for its actions. They should face the same--or more severe--penalties as those back-hoe operators who caused difficulties By ACCIDENT!

Public officials, beaurocrats, and those holding elected or other office must not be allowed to hide behind their official positions to protect them from accountability. They must be held personally responsible for their actions.

The EPA is without a doubt the most corrupt agency in the Obama Administration.

The IRS might dispute that.

I disagree with you that the EPA needs to go. Instead, I would change this to the EPA needs to be gutted of lawyers, activists and bureaucrats. Use the original EPA as a template for mission and organization.

The EPA at founding was heavy on technology and engineering, in other words it was solution based. The slide into lala land began under Jimmy Carter using the Clean Air Act to push some really dumb, non-economic changes on the power industry. It was a failure. The EPA’s long term response was to phase out engineering in favor of litigation and bureaucratic beat down of a thousand cuts.

So, here we are now with this monstrosity. Exhorbinent costs supporting a loony tune EPA via taxes, edicts instead of achievable win-win solutions and a similarly gutted industrial environmental intellectual base that has also gone to regulatory minutiae instead of leading edge engineering that is reasonable and practical.

Off the soap box now.

The First Backhoe Operator should sue for damages, using Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

"The EPA is without a doubt the most corrupt agency in the Obama Administration."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

While corrupt Congress letting federal regulatory agencies under the lawless Obama Administration get away with stealing state powers to oppress citizens is a major problem, it remains that there are probably many so-called federal regulatory agencies that actually don’t have the constitutional authority to exist imo, the EPA being one of them.

In fact, citizens should not have to comply with federal regulations that are made by non-elected federal officials, especially when such regulations have no constitutional justification. Citizens should comply only with regulations and laws that are made by elected members of Congress which are reasonably justified under Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

In other words, lawmakers need to start taking responsibility for Section 8-based regulations and laws instead of unconstitutionally front-ending the federal government with non-elected bureaucrats who steal state powers to oppress citizens as previously mentioned.

Patriots need to work with Trump to either eliminate unconstitutional federal agencies, or successfully petition the states to amend the Constitution to justify such agencies.

The Colorado incident was gross negligence. A highly experience engineer fought for months to stop the dredging, but the arrogant EPA refused to delay to make the operation safer.

I believe I would like to see the joint and several liability laws to apply here, where the supervisors up the chain paid civil penalties to the injured parties, including the Navajos and the State of Colorado, up to and including net worth plus any accrued pensions.

The EPA has been getting themselves sued and then deliberately losing cases, for years - in order to make rules they can’t do within the system and to launder tax money to environmental groups.
