Bad. Say again . Theres reversal in some of them. Yeah, little change lets call it. Volumes still up, 80 above the threemonth average by the way. Global fixed income had a bit of a rally also. Speaking of fixed income, lets look at the 10year. There you see it, 2. 246. Crude is up. Yesterday too, wasnt it . Yeah, i mean, again people hope that the end of november theyll be some sort of cutbacks. It all just seems very chimerical, but it will say this. Traders get short and get between 42 and 43 and get crushed over and over again by the opening. Right. Lets get to the road map this morning. Of course it starts with janet yellen on the hill testifying on the health of the u. S. Economy and the timing for a rate hike. Plus donald trump taking some interesting meetings in new york today. Shinzo abe going to find his way to trump tower, we believe. A handful of ceos as well. And well have an update on the transition effort. Walmart out with results, sales were not quite where the company h
We should be voting no on the amendment offered by the majority leader. With that i yield the floor. The presiding officer the senator from tennessee. Mr. Corker i think i understand the frustration expressed by the Ranking Member. I think what has happened, the Ranking Member knows that i worked with him to ensure that when we had this debate we stayed away from those issues that that divided us. He knows that i took multiple tough votes, as did others, to keep things in balance. And there are members of this body that feel like this amendment that youre talking about is one that they would have liked to have expressed themselves on, and since were in a place where it appears that 42 senators are going to keep us from actually being able to go forward with the vote on whether we agree or disagree with this, you and i are in the same place on this, but since that has occurred out of frustration and knowing that there are other members who wanted to express themselves in the way this ne
Construction and removal projects. One priority is to keep the public informed of the impacts from the release the epa closely coordinated with our federal partners with officials in colorado, Navajo Nation and the ute tribes to keep them apprised of results which are routinely posted on our website. These do indicate that they have returned to preevent conditions and the Decision Makers about lifting water restrictions along the animas river and San Juan Rivers. Finally i want to clarify the epa was working with the state of colorado to take action to a the Gold King Mine for a potential of a catastrophic release in the ongoing Water Quality impact caused by the discharges into the upper animas river watershed. Approximately 330 million gallons of contaminated water was discharged in the water shed each year that is 100 times more than the estimated release from the mine on august 5th. It continues to work with the state of the colorado to address the significant discharges better imp
Epa is only involved in actually a small percentage of those. Why . Because the authority to look at these is spread among a number of agencies, and epa can you break it down so that we have an idea of what the problem really is with some of these mines that may affect the health and welfare of our communities . We can do our best but i can tell you that the ones we follow are the ones on the National Priorities list and the ones where we work with states to address what we consider to be an imminent threat or a need for emergency response. The upper animus was in that category. I would like to see if you can answer some of this for the whole committee. I am glad mr. Bishop is worried about fish and wildlife and the endangered species. Thats something that is near and dear to a lot of us. With that, your budgeting. How much budget do you require to be able to do a job to maybe look at avoiding what happened at las animus . We have an entiermevironmentd that allows us to tap for the res
Gallons per minute. Then in september of 2005, it was up to 135 gallons per minute. 2006, it increased to 314 gallons per minute. 2009 to 2014, the rate dropped again all the way down to 13 gallons per minute. In september of 2014. And according to your staff gave our Committee Staff documentation on september 8th post blowout added discharge. It was approximately 600 gallons per minute. Is there any new data since september 8 that changes the 600 gallons per minute discharge rate . I think i have a slightly lower figure. But im happy to provide you with that, sir. I dont want to speak when i dont have all the data at my fingertips. Okay. You have come to testify and you dont know whether epa made it worse or better since september 8th . It is is something on the order of 550 gallons per minute, if thats what youre asking me. The problem is ill have a good demonstration. But when we are talking about raw sludge, the fact is before the blowout, the discharge rate was 70 gallons per minu
