“Sovereign immunity. The government doesnt fine itself, said Thomas L. Sansonetti, former assistant attorney general for the Justice Departments division of environment and natural resource. “
Fine, let the states, municipalities and private citizens sue them then. Governmental entities are sued all the time.

There was no dam. There was a plug. The other mine was plugged It shared the river with the Gold King. They removed an old pile that was pushed into the mine. All the water that was washing out of the lower mine was combined with the GOLD king mine. 500 gal per minute, THERE ARE 40,000 OF THE MINES IN THE ARES. THE LOCALS OBJECTED TO THE MINES BEING PLACED IN A sUPER FUND SITE. EPA caved and placed them in another EEIC.

Of course they won’t face fines. They’ll launch an investigation then refuse to turn over documents to the investigators. /sarc

Eventually, that stuff is going to reach Texas...
Plot twist: The E.P.A. ends up fining the company that they were assisting in the first place. (Wouldn’t be surprised)

I live with an earth scientist and he says what you did ..it will have those metals there forever...and he said it is the arsenic making it orange.
Well your resident 'earth scientist' is wrong. The orange isn't due to arsenic at all. It's due to hydrated iron oxide, mainly limonite, and jarosite, which comes from the weathing of pyrite. So it's basically rust.
