Criminal investigation into Gold King
mine spill underway

“There’s no question as to the EPA’s culpability for this spill, and this criminal investigation is critical to ensuring justice is served for all those impacted by this terrible disaster,”
Sen. John McCain

The Environmental Protection Agency’s internal watchdog says there is an ongoing criminal investigation into last year’s massive wastewater spill from an abandoned Colorado gold mine.

The EPA’s Office of Inspector General sent letters to members of Congress saying it couldn’t answer some questions about its review of the Gold King Mine spill without jeopardizing a criminal investigation being conducted with the Justice Department.  The statement did not say how long the probe has been underway.

An EPA-led contractor inadvertently triggered the Aug. 5, 2015, spill while doing preliminary cleanup work at the old mine.  The resulting 3-million-gallon blowout turned rivers in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah a sickly shade of yellow from wastewater contaminated with toxic heavy metals.

Communities downstream were forced to temporarily halt drawing water from the rivers for drinking water and irrigation.  The EPA says water quality in the rivers quickly returned to pre-spill levels.

This is an out-and-out LIE!!!!  The water and the Land are poisoned for generations to come, and the EPA has done NOTHING TO HELP OR EVEN OFFER ASSISTANCE.

Several members of Congress had pressed for a criminal investigation into the EPA’s role in causing the disaster.

“There’s no question as to the EPA’s culpability for this spill, and this criminal investigation is critical to ensuring justice is served for all those impacted by this terrible disaster,” Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, said in statement issued Monday.

The EPA is now considering whether to designate the Gold King Mine and other nearby abandoned mines as Superfund sites to help fund more extensive cleanup efforts.

    1. Kristi Ann, Thank You for your input!!!!
      It is time that American people realized that the EPA isn’t here to protect us, they manipulate data to benefit a few very rich individuals.
      This very corrupt group of puppets are finally being caught in their coverup of high lead levels in every city in Our Country, not to mention high levels of every heavy metal.
      There are no jobs in Our Country, yet the ignorance of so many cause more and more families to fall below the poverty level.
      It takes very little research to see that clean energy is not only impractical, it is impossible AND UNNECESSARY. All this takes to prove is a short walk outside, now look into the sky. Next, research how many tons of pollutants a volcano pumps into the atmosphere. Now consider how many thousands of years countless volcanoes have turned the skys neatly black.
      A coal fired power plant costs 3 to 5 cents to generate what costs $2.oo with clean energy.
      Kristi Ann, we always look forward to you visiting with us, Thank You.
      Robert
