[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1785744, member: 12952"] The mine was capped , not correctly since 100 gpm was leaking out . The EPA's private contractor never checked to see just how much was stored behind the cap . A few simple drill holes from above would have confirmed that a different approach would be needed . But since they didn't bother to do the job properly the flow rate jumped up to 500 gpm releasing all the contents of the mine into the river . Reminds me of a local problem ; The state was going to build a beach bath house inside a parking lot that they controlled . Seems they didn't have any idea where the town's main water pipe was located . The local town administrator , a former state engineer , gave they an approximation of where he thought the pipe lay hoping that they would do a proper job by doing exploratory drill holes . But they didn't . The second pile driver hole hit the main water supply . Instead of taking the blame they attempted to blame the local administrator by saying he gave them the wrong plans . Sound like the same thing in Colo. blame the other guy because you failed to properly do your job . [/QUOTE]
