EPA Contractor Behind CO Mine Spill Got $381 Million From Taxpayers
The Wall Street Journal has revealed the company’s identity
The
EPA may have been trying to hide the identity of the contracting
company responsible for causing a major wastewater spill in southern
Colorado, but the Wall Street Journal has revealed
the company’s identity.
Environmental Restoration (ER) LLC, a
Missouri-based firm, was the “contractor whose work caused a
mine spill in Colorado that released an estimated 3 million gallons
of toxic sludge into a major river system,” the WSJ was told by a
source familiar with the matter. The paper also found government
documents to corroborate what their source told them.So far, the EPA has refused to publicly name the contracting company used to plug abandoned mines in southern Colorado, despite numerous attempts by The Daily Caller News Foundation and other media outlets to obtain the information. It’s unclear why the agency chose not to reveal the contractor’s name.
What is clear, however, is that ER has gotten $381 million in government contracts since October 2007, according to a WSJ review of data from USAspending.gov. About $364 million of that funding came from the EPA, but only $37 million was given to ER for work they had done in Colorado.
