Environmental activist Erin Brockovich, made famous from the Oscar-winning movie bearing her name, on Tuesday accused the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency of lying about how much toxic wastewater spilled from a Colorado mine and fouled rivers in three Western states.
Her allegation came during a visit to the nation's largest American Indian reservation, where she saw the damage and met with Navajo Nation leaders and farmers affected by last month's spill, which was triggered by an EPA crew during excavation work.
Brockovich said she was shocked by the agency's actions leading up to the release of waste tainted with heavy metals and its response afterward.

she saw the damage...
I'm no fan of the EPA by a longshot, but what damage? As far as I have been able to determine from this article and others like it, is that any 'damage' was caused by not irrigating for a week or so due to fear of bright yellow iron oxide/hydroxide laden water (which is relatively harmless btw). People like visuals, but they don't trust gas chromatograph readouts from labs. I predicted when this happened that there would be little if any actual environmental damage, but the legal fallout would be nuclear.

Incidently, the Animas and other rivers on the east Rockies watershed were yellow 24/7 for most of the late 19’th and early 20’th centuries due to intense mining activity and no EPA.

I’ll bet that her claims to fame have sagged a bit since her moment in the sun.
