Gold King Mine owner Todd Hennis is calling the testimony of EPA Assistant Administrator Mathy Stanislaus at Wednesday’s House Science Committee hearing “absolute baloney of the worst kind.”
The EPA is out with data on the August 5 toxic spill in Colorado, but critics are skeptical about the validity of the information, and the agency’s actions to clean up the mess it created.
The Environmental Protection Agency was aware that its actions could cause a blowout more than a year before its attempts to excavate debris from the Gold King mine created the 3 million gallon toxic waste spill into Colorado’s Animas River on August 5.
Dave Taylor, the retired geologist who predicted the EPA project that caused the massive 3 million toxic spill in Colorado on August 5 would fail, says the EPA employees caused the spill should be fired as soon as possible. “But of course, that probably won’t happen. Where is Donald Trump when you need him?” Taylor asked rhetorically.
GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson is blasting the EPA for causing the August 5 toxic waste spill that turned the Animas River orange. After touring the Silverton site of the Gold King mine spill from the air in a helicopter, Carson told a huge crowd of 2,000 in Durango, Colorado that the EPA is at fault.
Dave Taylor, the retired geologist who predicted the EPA project that caused the 3 million gallon toxic spill into the Animas River in Colorado would fail, tells Breitbart News, “I didn’t really know they were going to fool with the Gold King mine in addition to the Red and Bonita mine.”
On July 30, six days before 3 million gallons of toxic waste burst into Colorado’s Cement Creek and Animas River on August 5, a retired geologist predicted that the EPA operation to plug the Red and Bonita mines that caused the spill would fail.
Some of the major rivers and lakes of the Southwest, including the Colorado River, the San Juan River and Lake Powell, may turn polluted and dangerous after the Environmental Protection Agency badly managed a cleanup crew on Wednesday that was trying to drain water containing metals such as arsenic, lead, cadmium, aluminum, and copper from the Gold King Mine.
