Maybe you should investigate

I’ll start by saying I do have concerns over this, mixed feelings.. Our water is terrible to drink even with the present day restrictions..
The EPA had failed in this regard too..

The over reach by government has got to stop!! Let the states Set and enforce the rules governing all companies relative to waste or dumping or anything else. They have better regulatory control than the federal government which is a mass order unattainable by say farmers etc... The state can fine, issue clean up orders and or shut down businesses ..

Not all is lost in The new rule, written by the “Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers, will retain federal protections of large bodies of water, as well as larger rivers and streams that flow into them and wetlands that lie adjacent to them. But it removes protections for many other waters, including wetlands that are not adjacent to large bodies of water, some seasonal streams that flow for only a portion of the year, “ephemeral” streams that only flow after rainstorms, and water that temporarily flows through underground passages.”

A perfect example of the failed EPA~~They created the polluted water here in Colorado and have fought clean up for years even sfter losing the lawsuit...

A gold company said the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is mismanaging the Superfund cleanup of nearly 50 old mining sites in southwestern Colorado and should be removed as the agency in charge.

Sunnyside Gold Corp., which owns mining property in the Bonita Peak Superfund district, made the complaint Monday in a letter to the EPA. In a written statement Tuesday, the EPA said it is following Superfund laws and is conducting a thorough investigation and cleanup.

The exchange was the latest skirmish in a long-running battle between Sunnyside and the EPA over the cleanup. The EPA has targeted Sunnyside to help pay for the cleanup, and the company has resisted, launching multiple challenges to the size and management of the project.

The West’s Old Mining Legacy Still Shows Up In Tainted Waters Today
Sunnyside's letter said the EPA has a conflict of interest because the agency was responsible for a massive spill of polluted water in 2015 from the Gold King Mine, another site in the Superfund district.

All of the digging into the ground has caused pollution for centuries. Including dumping nuclear waste. Cleaning it up is likely impossible, containing it has failed. Allowing more is i***tic. Thanks for your input

If states enforce the laws on the book in their state then more should not become an issue..

We don't need government overreach, we need states to enforce Those businesses involved..

I want clean air, water and land too..
Its our responsibility to hold our states not government to ensure its done... As your article points out its not removal of all waters.

Thank You for your opinion too...

Whether state or federal big business with big money will sway our politicians. It all comes back to getting rid of lobbyists and PACs
