Letter to Editor PREDICTED COLORADO EPA SPILL One Week Before Catastrophe=> So EPA Could Secure Control of Area


Wow!
Last Wednesday, a small EPA-supervised work crew inspecting the Gold King mine accidentally knocked a hole in a waste pit, releasing at least three million gallons of acidic liquid laden with toxic heavy metals. 
This letter to editor, posted below, was published in The Silverton Standard and The Miner local newspaper, authored by a retired geologist, one week before EPA mine spill.  
The letter detailed verbatim, how EPA officials would foul up the Animas River on purpose in order to secure superfund money. If the Gold King mine was declared a superfund site it would essentially kill future development for the mining industry in the area. 
The Obama EPA is vehemently opposed to mining and development. 
The EPA pushed for nearly 25 years, to apply its Superfund program to the Gold King mine. If a leak occurred the EPA would then receive superfund status. 
That is exactly what happened. 
The EPA today admitted they misjudged the pressure in the gold mine before the spill – just as this editorial predicted. 
The letter was included in their print edition on July 30, 2015. 
The spill occurred one week later.

UPDATE ---

COLORADO GOVERNOR SAYS HE HOPES EPA-CAUSED DISASTER WILL BRING MORE EPA REGULATIONS

In other words, THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS MORE OF THE PROBLEM!

WTNH:

"Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, himself a former geologist, visited a contaminated stretch of river Tuesday and said he hopes a “silver lining” to the disaster will be a more aggressive state and federal effort to deal with mining’s “legacy of pollution” across the West."

This is the unbelievable piece of news I've heard this year and that is saying something.

Congressional Republicans to hold serious hearings? How can they not?
