Right now there is concern about a plume of hexavalent chromium PG&E dumped close to the Colorado River in Topoc a long time ago -- it's leached through the sand and under the river; ADEQ is supposed to be overseeing the cleanup, but they do such a lousy job of policing what Nevada is dumping in the river from Laughlin that I dont' have a whole lot of confidence.... If the Colorado gets polluted it is bad news for California as well as Phoenix and Tucson.
