If 0bama fails to order the Corps of Engineers to dam the San Juan before the EPA contamination flows another 150 miles, then the drinking water for Los Angeles will become toxic.
The San Juan River flows into Lake Powell, which empties into the Colorado River, which supplies 5 million acre-feet of fresh water to drought-starved LA.
What do YOU think he will do.
My vote: Failure to order.
And 2.88 million gallons* of crud is gonna get dumped into it pretty soon, if they don’t do something fast....

The Animas flows into the San Juan which flows into the Colorado. The Colorado supplies 90% of the water for Las Vegas and over 50% of the water in California south of the Tehachipi. This has the potential for an evironmental disaster of monumental proportions. The water supply for millions of people in the southwest is threatened unless the CoE does something.
