Isn’t this in violation of the EPA laws?
Are they going to fine themselves and pay out billions in court?
I mean, hey, it’s pollution. I certainly don’t want pollution. But the EPA is on the hook for this one.
So, they should pay. Big time.
3 million gal and counting as the site is still coughing up 500 gal/min. 0bama needs to go to jail for this.
Obama’s fault (though, somehow, Bush will get blamed).
What does “accidentally caused it to flow”, even mean?
Gobbledegook!
The EPA killed both the river and the other rivers below it. Oh, the sheer irony...
I would like to review the permits that the Army Corps of Engineers issued for this, and the EPA’s permit applications.
Purposeful?
to take down a compromised region?
to further compromise our food sources?
Watch the same contractor working the site for the EPA be given a modification to his contract for unforeseen conditions to remedy his delays and any exposure to Hazardous waste.
I worked for some years as an environmental attorney working for Fortune 500 companies.
Had this been one of those companies, it would be front page news everyday, criminal indictments would be threatened (Probably not actually issued) and million of dollars of fines handed out. Emergency consent decrees issued and every dime the EPA could figure out how to spend would be tacked onto the bill. (And, man, can they spend money!)

The EPA has NO money... it’s all taxpayers’ money.

UNaccountable bureaucrats are socialists.
Most likely they will be PROMOTED!
The articles keep saying they were “using heavy equipment to enter the mine”. I can hear an excuse brewing.
Name names.
Defund the EPA. Like that’ll happen.
