FLASHBACK : Obama’s Incompetent EPA Poisons Colorado River, Turns it into Yellow Sludge
Not convinced yet that Obama is the Worst President of our time? Here’s some more proof.
Remember this in 2015? This environmental DISASTER was CAUSED by Obama’s EPA and his appointed chief Gina Mccarthy.
The Environmental Protection Agency, the federal agency supposedly committed to protecting “human health and the environment,” was responsible for an epic catastrophe by accidentally releasing one million gallons of wastewater into Colorado’s Animas River.
EPA bureaucrats were using heavy machinery to nose around the Gold King Mine near Durango, Colorado, when they triggered the release of wastewater containing heavy metals like zinc, iron, and copper.
The Denver Post reported that residents of Durango “gathered along the Animas River to watch as the blue waters turned a thick, radiant orange and yellow just after 8 p.m., nearly 34 hours after the spill started.”
“The river looks pretty nasty,” Deputy Stephen Lowrance of the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office told the Post. “It doesn’t look like water; it just looks like sludge.”
The EPA was reportedly investigating small leaks of toxic chemicals into the river near the mine when they triggered the million-gallon leak of toxic chemicals into the river.
Internal documents released late on Friday show managers at the Environmental Protection Agency were aware of the potential for a catastrophic “blowout” at an abandoned mine that could release “large volumes” of wastewater laced with toxic heavy metals.
The EPA released the documents ONLY following weeks of prodding from media organizations.
Among the documents is a June 2014 work order for a planned cleanup that noted that the old mine had not been accessible since 1995, when the entrance partially collapsed.
The plan appears to have been produced by Environmental Restoration, a private contractor working for EPA.
“This is the same hard-nosed agency that makes life a nightmare for American farmers, landowners, corporate executives and local governments, and now we find an EPA that isn’t talking much now that they are the alleged perpetrators of an environmental disaster and perhaps a criminal act,” said John Kubisty a former law enforcement officer and a corporate safety and security director who has dealt with the EPA and OSHA.
