The United States Environmental Protection Agency, (USEPA), that huge, but pious government agency that has been piling mountains upon mountains of regulations on air, water and land use, has become squarely to blame for one of the worst environmental disasters in the history of the western states. An 80-mile length of mustard-colored water -- laden with arsenic, lead, copper, aluminum and cadmium -- is working its way south toward New Mexico and Utah, following Wednesday's accidental release from the Gold King Mine, near Durango, Colorado, when an EPA cleanup crew destabilized a dam of loose rock lodged in the mine. The crew was supposed to pump out and decontaminate the sludge, but instead released it into tiny Cement Creek. From there, it flowed into the Animas River and made its way into larger tributaries, including the San Juan and Colorado rivers, according to a report from FOX NEWS.
Not only is the toxic sludge contaminating waterways, it is likely to contaminate both domestic and agricultural wells as it settles into the ground. This will involve years, if not decades, of monitoring and decontamination efforts, all paid for by the U.S. taxpayer. It is yet another one of Obama's administrative agencies that has systematically ruined our country.
And it is now apparent for everyone to see... nobody in Obama's government knows their ass from a hole in the ground.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
