Dave Taylor, the retired geologist who predicted the EPA project that caused the 3 million gallon toxic spill into the Animas River in Colorado would fail, tells Breitbart News, I didnt really know they were going to fool with the Gold King mine in addition to the Red and Bonita mine.
In a July 30 letter to the editor of the Silverton Standard, Taylor predicted that the EPA project to plug the Red and Bonita mine would fail within 7 to 120 days, and the 500 gallons per minute flow of toxic waste from those mines which the project stopped temporarily would resume again.
Six days later, on August 5, the EPA project caused 3 million gallons of toxic waste to flow into the Animas River.
The EPA was basically deceptive. They were saying were going to plug the Red and Bonita mine with a hydrostatic reinforced concrete plug, then were going to see what will happen, Taylor says in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News.
The Gold King mine was already plugged by someone else years ago with wood timbers, rocks and mud, and it was exfiltrating an unknown quantity of water, and they decided to remove that old plug so they could see the true quantity of water it was leaking, according to Taylor.
That old plug in the Gold King mine was kind of unstable material, he notes.
It was incompetent and stupid for them to go up to that existing plug and try to remove it without knowing how much water was upstream and behind it and what the hydrostatic pressure was, Taylor says.

It is Liberal bureaucratic arrogance.
We are the government and we know all and we will tell you what is to be done. Contradict us at your peril!
It is not hard to understand. It is arrogance coupled with willful ignorance.
Good one!
Their god, Big Government has betrayed them and they dont know what to do.
Of course they do, they’ll institute BIGGER government!
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Seems we do have a lot of ‘inconvenient disasters.
Mass shootings, etc. I don’t have time to think of and list all that’s happened but I’m sure there are enough to be suspicious.
Regardless. EPA any time in history sucks!
Useful idiots never think they are not one of the elite. Ever. Its why they are so easily used.
There are different levels of Useful Idiots. Many Useful Idiots want superiors and know they are not among the elite.
I call them the Economic Prevention Agency.
I am not familiar with the Turtle Island project do you have links?
Of course they do, theyll institute BIGGER government!
Sure but they still think they are special within their own spheres and thus indispensable to the cause. They don’t need to ‘be’ the top dog, just ‘with’ the top dog because without their special talent, he wouldn’t be the top dog to begin with.
Mental illness takes a lot of forms and thats a classic one. “The power behind the throne” complex.
Lost my stuff in a HD crash a while ago but it’s easily searchable under A21/Wildlands Project/Turtle Island/Earth First!/Dave Foreman for search terms.
Of course they do, theyll institute BIGGER government!
Here at FR or out on the web?
Both actually. There was a thread a while back with a lot of links but the web will get you all that and a ton more.

It wasn’t an accident, it was planned. EPA will shortly request billions of dollars from the Cleanup Superfund which they will piddle away on other projects with their cronies. They will use this incident, which they intentionally caused, as blackmail to get the funds.
I used to enjoy fishing Deep Creek which is a few miles on closer to Ouray. Gorgeous country and wild. Lots of German Browns.
Its not just Obama's government. Look around.
They're here.
