Re: EPA Spills At Least 3 Million Gallons Of Mine Waste Into River In Colorado Turning It Orange Toxic Sludge Has Now Crossed Into New Mexico
How much water is in ONE Olympic Size Swim Pool? 660,253.09 Gallons.

3 Million Gallons / 660,253.09 gallons per pool would mean that only 4.543 Olympic size pools have spilled from the Gold King Mine "Accident", ya, right, sure....
that is why the EPA took over 24 Hours to let people know downstream a load of s*(IT was flowing their way.


According to the rules of FINA.org, an Olympic pool should be 50 m long by 8 times 2.5 meter lanes with 2.5m outside lanes 1 and 8 (so 10*2.5 = 25m) - minimum depth 2m.

In English units:
50m = 164.042 ft
25m = 82.02 ft
2.0m = 6.56 ft
Surface area = 13,454.72 sq ft
Volume ~= 88,263 cu ft
~= 660,253.09 gallons of water

Recall that the COLOR-A-DO RIVER runs into Lake Mead that spills over the Hoover Dam..
Well there is no spilling..because it's dry..
Even a Ghost Town emerged..

So looking at the mine it came out of the mine.
I see no large storage ponds too steep an area.
I do see a nice trench leading out where they pumped all the poison out.
How did the mine leak at the top guys?
You can see trench goes past truck and tarp down hillside into a seasonal creek.

This only gives me more questions.
Thanks for video this important.

Well it's nice to hear the EPA apologized.

So 3 million gallons came out of the top.
You can see where it was sprayed downhill.
Look like trench is for low flow spill out.

Now why pump out a mine?
Is there an access point to something here?
None of this making any sense.

Interesting, found this on Wikipedia.

Animas River is a 126-mile-long (203 km)[1] river in the western United States, a tributary of the San Juan River, part of the Colorado River System. The river's free-flowing status will soon end as the Animas-La Plata Water Project nears completion. The project will pump water over a low pass to fill a reservoir, Lake Nighthorse, in Ridges Basin to satisfy Southern Ute tribal water rights claims associated with the Colorado Ute Settlement Act amendments of 2000.

Water. Can't live without it. Could this cause a national state of emergency?

The water has heavy toxic metals in it. If you wanted to toss the rest of your coffee into a beach around here, it's illegal. And look at this!

This situation makes me very uneasy, as this is where my Daughter, son-in-law and grandson live. Told my daughter to start buying water everyday. She said that neighboring Aztec has 50 days of water left but read at another site that it was really 30. I have a bad feeling about this- like this situation could become dire without these people realizing it. If it does, it would be dangerous just to go buy water. Desperate people could take it from you as you leave the store. What if something unforeseen were to happen where trucks would stop rolling... Something else thrown into the equation. Farmington has a 90 day water supply. I told my daughter that when Aztec runs out, people will be coming to Farmington to buy water.
