EPA withholds mine spill documents from Congress

“It is disappointing, but not surprising, that the EPA failed to meet the House Science Committee’s reasonable deadline in turning over documents pertaining to the Gold King Mine spill,” said Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX). “These documents are essential to the Committee’s ongoing investigation and our upcoming hearing on Sept. 9. But more importantly, this information matters to the many Americans directly affected in western states, who are still waiting for answers from the EPA.”

...

For several days, the EPA didn’t notify the states of Utah, New Mexico or the Navajo Nation that the spill was coming their way. McCarthy waited a week before visiting Colorado and even then she refused to tour Silverton, the town nearest the Gold King mine where EPA contractors unleashed the toxic plume into waterways that feed the Colorado River. The agency withheld the name of the contractor working on the project and other details that are generally considered public information.

EPA withholds mine spill documents from Congress

But the EPA claims to accept FULL responsibility.

You know what that means?

Nothing will happen.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

The hearings should sure be exciting... Yawn.

Wake me up if the Republicans ever do anything.

If I were those very fine democrat folks from Las Vegas, I would pay close attention to this EPA caused disaster.

They will be drinking that water soon, if not already.

Of course, when one is involved with a cult like the democrat party...

But still pundits want to know why people are for Trump. He wants to make Trey Gowdy Attorney General.

Congress needs to get control of the EPA, not be a yappy, little ankle-biter after the fact.

I just love the way Lammy talks. Another gutless GOPe turd.

Cut there damned funding until they submit the documents. Subpoena the director.

I want to see someone take their shoe off and start banging it on the desk.

Someone probably poured some of the 'spill' water on the PC's. Probably melted a hole right through the entire computer.

They won’t. Its why We the People must reassert our right to frame our government.

Article V before it is too late.

It's pretty clear we are under an oligarchy now...

They are almost done with a tunnel under Lake Meade. It is a giant bathtub drain to get water for Vegas. I saw this on the H2 channel over the weekend.

Those heavy metals will settle out right over the drain.
