Lot’s of fun stuff in the old mines around Colorado
EPA and contractor crews accidentally unleashed 1 million gallons of wastewater . . .
The EPA really screwed this up. They should drop the effort to destroy the American economy and focus on their actual mission.
What would have happened to the official whose company they were investigating when they caused this spill, if that company had been responsible?
Yeah, I know EPA is not only above the law, they are the law, and the judge.
I hope the EPA officials who caused this are drug through the same wringer that anyone else would be.
The EPA was looking for violations.
I suspect that finding none, they decided to create the crisis.
I wonder if there was any legal action the EPA was conducting when the poison was released.
Is this a pretext to confiscating the mine?
I’d like to see the cost for the cleanup to come out of the EPA’s budget directly, without reimbursement, and not from the general fund.
How much are they going to fine themselves?
Well, it’s in good company, after the Church Rock uranium mill spill, which flowed into the Puerco River. Likely the worst nuclear accident in the US that almost nobody has ever heard of.

Just you watch: the fedgov public employee union thug who caused this spill will get a BIG bonus for claiming to have cleaned it up and then get promoted to some high position at the VA. Such is the work life of a fedgov employee.
These meddlesome Administrative State outlaws need to learn the active voice again. They will first need to accept their dismal record as we see it. We -some of whom are scientists ourselves- do not have to accept their official “secret sciences.” There is blatant corruption inside that seething lying bunch of Obama appointees, and they’ve got undisclosed back channel ties to the same not for profit organizations who want to wipe out ALL coal energy in America. The entire hard left syndicate is highly corrupt and it needs to be exposed as illegal, political gangsterism.
It is telling that none of the “professional” reporters saw fit to tell the public what government agency was responsible for uncapping that pit. If it was not tampered with by the EPA “experts,” then there would have not been the massive spill. Pretty soon the “contractors” will take the fall instead, but they better testify against the “experts” as whistle blowers instead because we’re not going to let this horrible “mistake” be lost in the passive voice. Who cares about the Nederland CO. paint thinner incident any longer, we don’t need these over educated clowns meddling in our lives what so ever!
That massive spill will destroy much more than the river and those responsible will go back to their very comfortable homes to leave the rest of us to make do with wrecked lives. Human beings are an abstraction to these clowns. The wackos will blame the mine owner ignoring the fact that it was contained prior to the meddling. They’ll not even consider the human suffering that will result because of their political gangsterism.
We want the exact NAMES of the individuals inside the EPA who sought to meddle with the tap and we want the exact “secret” science-teriffic reason they broke it open to inspect? You know well enough that Colorado is under attack by these insane enviro-wacko appointees from the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Wildlife service officials, who live anonymous comfortable lives in Denver, only because they’ll never be thrown out of government work by their damned mistakes.
Or, given the little war on Colorado who’s to believe this incident wasn’t part of a larger effort to discredit private mining companies? The rural public suffers this new administrative state too easily; and by gosh, this MASSIVE spill serves as the prime example why this remote technocracy must be checked!
