A letter to editor written by Dave Taylor, from Farmington, New Mexico, was published in The Silverton Standard and The Miner , a retired geologist, one week before the EPA toxic waste dump..
The letter detailed how EPA officials would foul up the Animas River on purpose in order to secure superfund money and power.. If the Gold King mine was declared a superfund site it would essentially kill future development for the mining industry in the area. The Obama EPA is vehemently opposed to mining and development by working Americans.
I used to live on the Animas River at Farmington and Aztec back in 1954-1956. Caught my first fish in the river at Farmington.
But then, if the river was so acidic, mixing it with Alkaline ground water from the Farmington area should neutralize the acid some.
