Gold King Spill Daylights EPA's Poor Remediation Practices
On August 5, Environmental Restoration, a contractor working on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to investigate and address contamination from abandoned hard rock mines in San Juan County, Colorado, USA, accidentally released 3 million gallons of water from the Gold King mine into the upper portions of Cement Creek. The EPA agreed to postpone adding the site to the Superfund NPL, as long as progress was being made to improve the water quality of the Animas River. According to Hennis, the mountain, Bonita Peak, is fractured, folded, fissured, and filled with exploration drill holes, and It's unreasonable to expect bulk-heading to work in these geologic conditions.
