The Environmental Protection Agency has said it has no system for monitoring hundreds of thousands of abandoned mines that pock the American landscape or knowing which one could be the source of the next big toxic spill. a spokesman for the federal agency told the Guardian the EPA doesn't keep records of the number of mines or tailings dams, structures that store mine waste, in the US. In the western US, the EPA estimates there may be 161,000 abandoned “hard rock” mines, where metals such as gold, silver and copper were once dug. Over decades, old mines fill up with rainwater. Two weeks ago, three million gallons of poisonous, orange water gushed from the long dormant Gold King Mine and fouled Colorado’s Animas and San Juan rivers. http://bit.ly/1K92C73 http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by Wochit using http://wochit.com
