I want to know who was the moron that decided to dig into the SIDE of a containment pond, up hill from a major waterway?
And WHY? There is not one sensible reason to do that.
They triggered a multi-million dollar disaster they are STILL trying to manage.
It was under Odumbshit’s term in office.
Have we become the Soviet Union?
Has the greatest threat to the environment become the government agency tasked with protecting it?
“We’re from the government, and we’re here to he’p you.”
The Animus and other tributaries originating in Colorado ran yellow/orange for a century before the mines started shutting down after world war 2, long before the EPA came along, and the people in these watersheds aren’t cancer infested mutants. The mine runoff is low-pH water turbid with clay, various hydrated oxides of iron, and elevated levels of various metals, but it ain’t liquid sarin. People need to get a grip.
Mr. GG2 holds patents on a mobile processing plant he invented which you build on site. It grinds up mine tailings, removes all the toxic stuff, retains residue gold and silver and spits out a sanitized gravel on the other end which can be used to build roads. There are several large mines and a couple of coal fired power companies that want it they just don’t want to fool with building it unless he oversees the whole thing and he just wants to sell the patent. He has even met with the Asst Sec of the Interior under OFail but the govt never would commit. Each processing mill costs about $3 million to build. Peanuts for what it will do.
Plenty of topics about the Obama-era EPA-caused toxic spill, including one about a lawsuit brought by one of the western tribes.
