Does anyone remember how GW Bush was hammered for not wanting to continue Clinton's enviro regulations that would have required all municipal water to keep arsenic below 10 parts per million? A ridiculously expensive proposition for many towns and cities.

Albuquerque Battles to Leave Arsenic in the Water

And now the EPA has dumped arsenic, lead and mercury into the water by the ton.

The EPA just destroyed a great natural resource. A lot of livelihoods will be severely impacted.

Animas River (Duranglers.com fishing guide website)

One of the last free-flowing rivers in the state of Colorado, the Animas River is a unique and rare treasure. With the newest and one of the best Gold Medal Water fly-fishing sections in Colorado, the Animas is a river that should be on your list of places to fish.

The Animas River is evidence of how human perception of the landscape has evolved over the past 250 years. Today the Animas Valley and the river itself seem alive, bountiful, and full of beauty. When Juan Rivera passed through this corner of Colorado in 1765, he named the river El Rio de las Animas Perdidas en Purgatorio, “The River of the Lost Souls in Hell.” To Rivera and his Spanish compatriots, the valley was remote, bleak, and had little to offer them in the way of riches.

I doubt that there is one live fish left in those waters.

Think of how many water users will be affected by this. Got a farm that uses this water for irrigation? Got a farm with an organic certification? Better not get any of that sludge on it or it could be years before you get re-certified.
