I’ll ask the question at its most basic.
Why are regulators operating machinery?
It’s not their job.
At my job when they are preaching error prevention one of the things they say is ‘Stay in your roll.”
If you are a supervisor; supervise. If you start doing work with the workers you are no longer doing your job of supervising (oversight, making sure the job is done correctly).
If these regulators were operating machinery they were out of roll and not regulating.
Typically site reclamation is done by contractors or the site owners. I have never heard of the EPA getting their hands dirty.
EPA should be eliminated.
Awful!
We camped beside that river, rode theDurango-Silverton railroad that runs along and above ( some places waaay above) it.
Lots of kayak traffic.
Had a private co.done this someone would be in jail.
The EPA was looking for violations.
I suspect that finding none, they decided to create the crisis.
The ‘press’ is made up of liberal elites.
The Press gave the EPA a pass... after all they're ‘on the same team’ and soooooo much better than the great unwashed.
If the company had accidentally caused the spill the press would have trashed them like EXXON Valdez... or worse.
But not to fear, the EPA belongs. They could destroy the planet and the press would cover for them... The EPA folks know the right wine to have with dinner - and the best restaurants in DC to dine at... You know - the important stuff... They get the pass. Will Lois Lerner be joining us for dinner tonight? The Washington Post team will be here early...
