The Environmental Protection Agency acknowledged Wednesday that it did not plan for the “worst-case scenario” at a Colorado mine clean-up operation — where that scenario unfolded last month when a toxic mine spill sent millions of gallons of sludge into Western rivers.
Probably because none of these people are in the mining business and have never worked a day managing a mine. So the solution they offered: Plug it with a cork and all will be fine was there solution.
Once again, it’s proven that the most deadly words in the English language are,”We’re from the government, and we’re here to help you.”
Calm down, Errin go Brokovitch is counseling the Navajo elders in the ways of the great white lawyers known by their native name “screw the pooch”.
I’m waiting for the report that the EPA has declared the mine a superfund site and that they’re suing themselves for the hazardous discharge in the sum of one gazillion dollars plus the cost of the cleanup which is being undertaken by Jarrett Environmental Services of Cook County, Illinois.
The gov’t is making it ever harder for the survivalists who will take cover here in the meltdown…
What does the abbreviation E.P.A. stand for ?
Yeah, well not this time.
They’re building (wasting $100M) on a clean-up facility! That was the goal all along.
Yup. Just like the Army Corps of Engineers only built the levees in New Orleans to withstand a Category 3 hurricane.
