"But make no mistake, within seven days, all of the 500gpm flow will return to Cement Creek. Contamination may actually increase... The "grand experiment" in my opinion will fail.Sound like something a government entity would do? Just ask Lois Lerner...
And guess what [EPA's] Mr. Hestmark will say then?
Gee, "Plan A" didn't work so I guess we will have to build a treatment plant at a cost to taxpayers of $100 million to $500 million (who knows).
Reading between the lines, I believe that has been the EPA's plan all along"
As we concluded previously,
The EPA actually has no concern for the environment, they just happen to use the environment as a cover story to create laws and gain an advantage for the companies that lobbied for exemptions to the agency's regulations, and to collect money in fines. There are solutions outside the common government paradigm, and that is mainly the ability for individuals, not governments, to hold polluters personally and financially accountable.h/t Stephen
