Mine Owner Calls EPA Official's Testimony At Toxic Spill Hearing Absolute Baloney of the Worst Kind

From Breitbart's Big Government:

Gold King Mine owner Todd Hennis is calling the testimony of EPA Assistant Administrator Mathy Stanislaus at Wednesday’s House Science Committee hearing “absolute baloney of the worst kind.”

In his testimony, EPA’s Stanislaus told the committee “[t]his [blowout] was a result of cave-ins and water build up. That’s why we were there at the time.”

But Hennis is pinning the blame on the EPA for the August 5 blowout of 3 million gallons of toxic waste from the Gold King Mine he owns near Silverton, Colorado. That disaster turned the Animas River orange for days.

“They [the EPA] blocked off the flow of water out of the drain pipes and they created the huge wall of water in the Gold King by their actions last year,” Hennis told Watchdog.org.

“They are calling it [the blowout] an act of God when it was an act of government,” Hennis added.

Just remember the EPA's and the Obama's reaction to the oil well blowout in the Gulf.

Democrat members of the committee repeated Stanislaus’s “act of God” excuse to justify EPA’s conduct.

Was it an "act of God" in the Gulf?

“Blaming EPA for the spill is like blaming firefighters for the forest fire,” Rep. Donald Beyer (D-VA)0% said.

But Dave Taylor, the retired geologist who predicted the EPA project that caused the spill would fail, has little patience for the lame excuses being offered by EPA officials and their Democrat apologists.

“More accurately,” Taylor tells Breitbart News, “the analogy should be that the EPA poured gas on the fire, by showing up unequipped and unprepared with no back-up plan.”
