EPA Spills Some More Toxic Water from a Mine But That s Not the Problem

The EPA triggered another toxic spill at another mine in Colorado. This time it involved only 2,000 gallons that ran into the Elk Creek from the Standard Mine at Crested Butte, but the EPA didn’t notify residents including the mayor, they aren’t accountable of course, and they probably don’t know how to clean up mines safely.   “Once again the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] has failed to notify the appropriate local officials and agencies of the spill in a timely manner,” U.S. Congressman Scott Tipton said. The spill took place on Tuesday and the EPA kept the information from the Denver Post on Wednesday when they inquired, and they didn’t send out a public notice until Thursday.
