DENVER — The owner of the Colorado’s Gold King Mine says he tried to stop the Environmental Protection Agency from gaining access to his property, but that he relented after the agency threatened to pound him with ruinous fines if he refused.

Well, obviously the EPA coven has all the experts. No one else would have devised the dazzling plan to punch through a dam and let millions of gallons of arsenic and lead contaminate rivers in three states.
