The very agency charged with protecting the environment has caused a toxic waste spill from an environmental disposal mine filled with a megaload of heavy metals including high levels of arsenic, lead and cadmium.
Residents in two New Mexico towns have been forced onto emergency water rations after the federal government caused the disastrous spill of environmentally sequestered carcinogenic heavy metals.
Thanks to the EPA, these towns have been cut off from their source of water overnight — due to incompetence by the federal government no less. Their populations have been warned that they must rely upon a 90-day estimated supply of water until the EPA can thoroughly test the water, and clear it for safe usage.
The incident took place in southwest Colorado, spilling into the Animas River near the town of Silverton. The contaminated waters have overwhelmed at least two towns downstream in New Mexico, while the EPA admits the severe levels of toxins are also headed for parts of Utah, after the Animas joins a larger river.
Toxic waste, including arsenic and lead, which seeped into a river in southwest Colorado, has now crossed the state border into New Mexico. More than 550 gallons per minute are entering the water flow system according to the Environmental Protection Agency, which caused the spill.
The agency says it should have the results of samples undergoing lab testing soon, so they can find out just how contaminated the river has become. Aside from lead and arsenic, federal officials say the spill also contains, cadmium, aluminum, copper and calcium.

Officials in the cities of Aztec and Farmington say they have shut down the river’s access to water treatment plants, adding that the communities had a 90-day supply of water.
The Animas flows into the San Juan River in New Mexico, and the San Juan flows into Utah, where it joins the Colorado River in Lake Powell. There are also reports that the contaminated water is heading towards Utah.
Heavy metal contamination has been one of the most detrimental environmental killers across the world. Numerous sites of corporate malfeasance and corruption have resulted in concentrated cases of villages and areas afflicted by contaminated water that have triggered cancer clusters and chronic disorders among populations.
The river turned orange in color at its Colorado point, striking an alarming contrast to the typical river, as pictures and footage show:

Meanwhile, it is a crisis in one area that could affect many other areas in the drought-stricken and sometimes desperate southwest.
California has been in a severe drought crisis, with farmers calling it quits to sell high priced water to cities. Other cities across the globe, like Bangkok and Sao Paulo face severe water shortages and desperately dependent, large urban populations.

This report is severely lacking pertinent data.
The EPA is an organization employed and tasked with monitoring and enforcing protection regulations.
These chemicals had to have come from some manufacturing/processing facility.
No mention at all of the source, even though it may be agreed the EPA failed to do their job, as they have so many times before.
#Nestle would still bottle and use the water, if they can make money off of it; water isn’t a human right, after all.
There is a possibility that the prolonged drought in the Southwest is being geo-engineered. If so, then we should also entertain the possibility that the release of these toxic chemicals by the EPA to contaminate the remaining main surface water supplies was intentional.
An accicent.? Probably not. then what? find out who was behind it.
The EPA. They are immune from fines and prosecution. The government can’t sue itself, and going after the individuals who did it would open them up to tons of lawsuits.
The EPA is another alphabet agency that has no responsibility to the people of The Republic of North America.
Proper investigation of this matter will show deliberate gross negligence and felony fraud against the living people and plant animal life. They are immune only because they say they are and then create “law” to supposedly protect themselves.
the “legal system” is a system by which they gain control again through out right fraud. There is a huge amount of fear created by the agencies and then the people are mind controlled into believing that these agencies are doing anything for the betterment of anyone. It is a form of cognitive dissonance.
think on this the fbi… fda… irs… epa… va.. how do they act in reality and how much money do they spend on stupid ideas like: most wars and especially the so called drug war and the enslavement of many people who have no awareness that they are enslaved.
NOW! What really happened? Apparently millions of gallons of poisonous toxic material got into the river. Oh some one made a boo boo..? No it was as planned as the little oil spill in the gulf where large quantities of poison were sprayed onto the people and the water, and then forgotten about.
The poison was trade named corexit not sure of spelling. read the msds and see what it tell you.
Oh and just for fun they are still dumping chemicals from the aircraft that are way up there.
Know the truth or seek to find it. Perhaps replace fear with faith in ones own…………………. H P.
accidents are caused there is always a cause for things. The cause for this is they are trying to kill folks and they are psychopathic which means they have no feeling or caring about anything out side of their self. This is the same behavior see in Germany during the holy cost.
bye for this moment
I don’t like accusing anyone, but that was a deliberate act by the EPA. THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE SHOULD BE TRIED AND HUNG FOR TREASON AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND NATURE. THERE IS “NO ” EXCUSE FOR THIS KIND OF DESPICABLE ACT. YA DAMN RIGHT I’M PISSED OFF !!!!!
I would not bet against this being done deliberately.
