I think most people are very concerned about this. I'm also concerned that many will blame the EPA for it when the fact is that Colorado refused the appropriate help because of tourism concerns. This is a case of privatizing profits and externalizing cleanups to the taxpayers. That's why we need to hold accountable corporations for their costs that they leave us. They should have to deal with it as they create these toxins...
I hear some surrounding states have accident waiting to happen sites around mines as well, so its not just Colorado that failed to take appropriate measures rather than effectively ignoring the issue till now...after tons of heavy metals have already been put into the water I mean hopefully action can be taken to prevent a lot more of these incidents but damage is already done I imagine.
Also though some of these are pretty old and the people 'responsible' may not even be alive anymore.
