Crews working for the Environmental Protection Agency were trying to clean up an old mine. But they accidentally sent a million gallons of toxic sludge into the Animas River.
The images from the ground and from the sky of an orange river have Durango residents like Joe Genualdi worried.

I am very familiar with this river and this is a sad event!
they are from the government and they are there to help! anyone for a self-licking ice cream cone?
so much for the value of the epa. maybe they do these things on purpose... a hidden agenda.
leave it to the EPA
No fishing for 20 years...
I thought the P stood for "Protection"?!
Now the confusion starts. Who do they fine for this?
They need to use all the fines collected from others to pay for an immediate cleanup, not just the "oh, just let the river dilute and flush it" BS!
If it were one of us, silt booms, scrubbers, filters and 59 hazmat crews would have to be in operation or daily fines would be being charged.
Time to take some of their own medicine!
Who fines the EPA?
