Helping Good Samaritan Cleanup of Abandoned Hardrock Mines
Posted: Friday, February 10, 2012
Senator Udall signed a letter, led by Senator Boxer and also signed by Senator Bennet, to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa Jackson asking EPA to give additional certainty to Good Samaritans for cleanup of abandoned hardrock mines. Good Samaritans continue to struggle with liability under the Clean Water Act for work they would like to do to remediate abandoned hardrock mines that pollute many Colorado watersheds. The letter requests a preliminary report from EPA on their progress by February 29.
