when asked if the pollution would affect drinking water
the reply was " I don't Know" (worse than hog wash)

Yeah, and they have absolutely NO IDEA what kind of contaminants were spilled into the waterway.

The EPA is showing the same kind of professionalism and credibility as our DSS!

Just getting up to speed on this story. What a disaster in the making......

The interesting thing is this mine reservoir was from the 1920's. Seems like someone effed up pretty badly...sad.

You know what would be a bigger joke? Letting republicans get their way and dismantle the EPA. say good bye to clean air, clean drinking water and hey... Maybe say hello to a river that's on fire like what happened in Cleaveland in the 70's. Acid rain?

How about this...They are now saying it's three times worse than first reported.

And is appears that some toxic waste organization that was "supposed" to be cleaning the mine water are the ones that "accidentally" leaked the water!

Talk about a total fuster-cluck!
Now everyone that believes they will do what's in the best interest of the people, please stand on you heads!

the question was also asked

who's gonna pay for it?

everyone is.... duh.....
