EPA’s Gold King Mine Blowout Was No Accident
dailycaller.com
Obama administration officials called the Gold King Mine disaster in Colorado an “accident,” but an analysis from The Daily Caller News Foundation of government documents and public statements makes clear the disaster was anything but accidental.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intentionally opened up the abandoned mine, which unleashed 3 million gallons of toxic waste into nearby rivers that residents of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and the Navajo Nation depend upon for drinking water.
Agency administrator Gina McCarthy even called the mine spill an “unfortunate accident” in an Aug. 11, 2015, speech on the matter, but EPA officials have since been more cautious in describing the event.
McCarthy, for example, avoided labeling the spill an “accident” in her prepared testimony before House lawmakers in September, instead calling the spill an “unfortunate incident.” EPA spokesmen have also steered clear of calling Gold King Mine an accident.
“As Administrator McCarthy has said, ‘This was a tragic and unfortunate incident, and EPA has taken responsibility to ensure that it is cleaned up appropriately,’” an agency spokeswoman told TheDCNF.
EPA’s internal report avoided using the term “accident” and called the mine blowout an “incident.” And another top agency official testifying before lawmakers in September echoed McCarthy’s refrain that the spill was an “unfortunate incident.”
“Information the agency has received to date from both external and internal reviews of the matter has revealed no evidence that the blowout was in any way intentional,” the spokeswoman said.
New evidence tells a different story. A newly released email between Obama administration officials following the August disaster shows EPA workers intentionally breached Gold King Mine.
“There was nothing unintentional about EPA’s actions with regard to breaching the mine,” Utah Republican Rep. Rob Bishop told Department of the Interior (DOI) Secretary Sally Jewell during a hearing in early March. “They fully intended to dig out the plug and breach it.”
