EPA Spill Was Not An Accident But INTENTIONAL Proof

Colorado has just come under attack in a massive water war. Specifically, the Animas River which once was a major tourist location and source of life. Now, after recent events it is nothing but a toxic stream flowing like poison through out the state of Colorado heading to New Mexico.


The spill contains an extremely deadly toxic mix, which includes mercury, arsenic, lead, and a slue of other toxic metals. The levels that have so far been discovered are absolutely shocking. Thousands of times over the EPA regulations limit.


Residents are distraught, disgusted, and they feel like their home has just been ripped from their hands because without water there is no life.




The title of the video could not be more fitting. Simply put the residents just got EPA screwed. The problem that has been caused by the EPA will not cost the EPA a dime. According to the Washington Post the EPA will not be fined.


DENVER — Unlike BP, which was fined $5.5 billion for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, the EPA will pay nothing in fines for unleashing the Animas River spill.


“Sovereign immunity. The government doesn’t fine itself,” said Thomas L. Sansonetti, former assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s division of environment and natural resources.


New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and other lawmakers have called on the EPA to hold itself to the same standards as it would a private company in the aftermath of Wednesday’s accident, in which an EPA-led crew uncorked a 3 million-gallon spill of orange wastewater from the abandoned Gold King Mine near Silverton, Colorado.-WashingtonPost


The outrage continues according to CNN and other large mainstream news organizations this was an accident and the levels are stupendous. However, other local and smaller news organizations want to do independent tests to get the levels of just how bad the spill is.



Brace yourself.


According to the picture below the spill was intentional.  It’s all about the “benjamins”.

The above is damning evidence that the EPA spill was completely intentional and all for funding a new water treatment plant! How is this possible? How is it legal? This is the epitome of Hegelian dialectic where the powers that be cause a problem to get a reaction and finally implement their predetermined solution.


Recently Obama took over ALL of the waterways in America; ponds, streams, lakes, and rivers. Is this how the EPA got away with this mess?



Private companies and contractors that is how the government gets away with their dirty work. According to the Wall Street Journal Environmental Restoration (ER) LLC is the company who was behind the spill.


The EPA may have been trying to hide the identity of the contracting company responsible for causing a major wastewater spill in southern Colorado, but the Wall Street Journal has revealed the company’s identity.


Environmental Restoration (ER) LLC, a Missouri-based firm, was the “contractor whose work caused a mine spill in Colorado that released an estimated 3 million gallons of toxic sludge into a major river system,” the WSJ was told by a source familiar with the matter. The paper also found government documents to corroborate what their source told them.


So far, the EPA has refused to publicly name the contracting company used to plug abandoned mines in southern Colorado, despite numerous attempts by The Daily Caller News Foundation and other media outlets to obtain the information. It’s unclear why the agency chose not to reveal the contractor’s name.


What is clear, however, is that ER has gotten $381 million in government contracts since October 2007, according to a WSJ review of data from USAspending.gov. About $364 million of that funding came from the EPA, but only $37 million was given to ER for work they had done in Colorado. –DailyCaller

Toxic sludge in contaminated river reaches New Mexico, communities have 90-day water supply

California is in a water crisis, and now New Mexico only has 90-days worth of water. Three months worth of water, that is not long at all. The previous water crises in America have been some of the worst this country has faced. Now, there is another water crisis on the horizon because of arsenic and lead in polluted water supplies. 

Toxic waste, including arsenic and lead, which seeped into a river in southwest Colorado, has now crossed the state border into New Mexico. More than 550 gallons per minute are entering the water flow system according to the Environmental Protection Agency, which caused the spill.


The agency says it should have the results of samples undergoing lab testing soon, so they can find out just how contaminated the river has become. Aside from lead and arsenic, federal officials say the spill also contains, cadmium, aluminum, copper and calcium.


High levels of arsenic can cause blindness, paralysis and cancer, while lead poisoning can create muscle and vision problems in adults and can be fatal for children.


"We’re busting our tails to get that out," Environmental Protection Agency Regional Director Shaun McGrath said, as cited by AP. "We know the importance to people to have this information."


The bright orange toxic sludge, which entered the Animas River in Colorado, has now crossed the state border into New Mexico and reached the city of Aztec on Friday night. Local communities in both states are not happy and have blasted the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for being slow in warning residents after the spill took place. 


"There’s not a lot we can do. We can keep people away (from the river) and keep testing. We still don’t know how bad it is," San Juan County Emergency Management Director Don Cooper said, according to AP.

Officials in the cities of Aztec and Farmington say they have shut down the river’s access to water treatment plants, adding that the communities had a 90-day supply of water.


The Animas flows into the San Juan River in New Mexico, and the San Juan flows into Utah, where it joins the Colorado River in Lake Powell. There are also reports that the contaminated water is heading towards Utah.


The EPA says they have finished building two containment ponds, which are aimed at treating the toxic sludge in the river. However, this is very much a short-term plan, while the long-term issue of cleaning up the spill will take some time according to McGrath. 


“The sediment, the metals that are in that sediment are going to settle out to the stream bottom," he said. "As we have storm surges, as we have flooding events, that sediment can and likely will get kicked back up into the water. We’re going to have to do ongoing monitoring," McGrath added.

It is estimated that over one million gallons of toxic waste has already found its way into the river. The spill was caused after the EPA was investigating the abandoned Gold King Mine on Wednesday together with the state Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. They accidentally breached a debris dam that had formed inside the mine and this triggered the release of the waste into Cement Creek, a tributary of the Animas River in San Juan County.
Ironically, the initial goal was to find a safe way to pump out the wastewater from the mine, which was abandoned in 1923 and treat it, EPA spokeswoman Lisa McClain-Vanderpool said.
