In some circles the EPA is referred to as "the Keystone Cops".... and that was from another gov agency....

I get my news from varied sources and first heard about it last night. I think that it HAD to be picked up because this was such a horrific "accident".... I don't believe it was an intentional malicious act, rather yet another bumbling misadventure ....

I feel certain it was an unfortunate accident. There was a community meeting today and people had many pertinent questions. The EPA had few answers. Many ranchers have cattle that drink from the river. I guess they'll be building fences this weekend.

Keystone cops sounds about right.

So will the head of the EPA be fired?

Why would the head of the EPA be fired? Unlike the oil companies and other big corporations that pollute our waters, the government t will do what they can to clean the water.

Oh my God.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Speaking of Keystone... the pipeline, that is, this is a great example of why an accident such as one of this magnitude would be a disaster if the aquifer were polluted with nasty dirty oil going to China.

A MILLION gallons? That's no accident.
Oh, no. That's awful. Where did you hear that this was intentionally caused? And can you let us know who's behind this disaster? So scary.

It's in the title of the thread.

You're welcome!

Today the EPA is admitting the spill was 3 million gallons, not 1, and it's still leaking. I didn't mean to infer this was deliberate. It was accidental but negligence caused it. It took the EPA about 24 hours to notify the governors of the affected states that the spill had occurred.

Hundreds of people along the river who use well water have been advised not to use the water.

Well I live in Durango...there is talk that it wasn't an accident...First they said 1 million gallons..now its 3 million and its still leaking over 500 gallons a minute according to yesterdays paper...thats alot..our river today has cleared alot..DH and I walk it 4 miles every day...Friday it was like floating mustard...

We have become a haven for the homeless...and they live by the river..even though we are a tourist town the homeless are allowed to bath and sleep by the river right by the river walk..we see them bathing and washing their clothes everyday...so now they are contaminated with the metals that are floating in the river...

The fish and all wildlife that depend on the river are contaminated...the farmers can't use the river to irrigate..in the SW we depend on irrigation water..we don't get the rain like in other parts of the county...the river raft companies depend on the river...life revolves around water...

The EPA has fessed up..what else can they do..it happened and we all know they caused it...

There are alot of articles on the web about the mess....DW
