The EPA recently spilled over 3 Million gallons of water from a gold mine in Colorado into the Animas river, giving it a mustardy hue and releasing TOXIC heavy metals into the water. The didn't contact state officials nor did they publicly announce the spill until a good amount of time had passed. This will most certainly damage the ecosystem and drinking water for the area. How does this happen with such stringent regulatory guidance is imposed.... BY THE EPA!

So, if the EPA fines companies who does these same kinds of accidents, who fines the finers?

And where are the mine owners that generated all that contamination in the 1st place?
