Gov. John Hickenlooper, Sens. Cory Gardner Michael Bennet, and Rep. Scott Tipton will also tour the site above Silverton, and meet with Pruitt and other representatives of the EPA. ... A cleanup led by the EPA at the old gold mine on Aug. 5, 2015 dumped wastewater contaminated with arsenic and lead into the Animas River in southwest Colorado, turning it a shade of yellow. The blowout sent water laced with toxic heavy metals through southwest Colorado, New Mexico and Utah.
