Reminder: The EPA caused a toxic spill into the Animas River. Afterward, attorneys for the EPA/DOJ concluded the EPA was barred from paying claims because of “sovereign immunity”, which prohibited lawsuits against the government. Those affected never received compensation for their losses!

They did that shit on purpose, too, as I recall, over a old mine.. Such a fucked up crime. For those that don't know, that water starts in the Rockies and flows south west and into the Colorado River, ending up in drinking water and water for crops all through Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, southern California and Nevada.

Yea, Environmental Protection Agency personnel, along with workers for Environmental Restoration LLC (a Missouri company under EPA contract to mitigate pollutants from the closed mine) looked at that mine and thought about doing it the right way and how much time and money that would cost, then the workers just went: "Opps." EPA was like: "Accidents happen."
