A toxic leak of waste water turn Colorado river mustard yellow

More than 1,000 wells may have been contaminated. "We're going to continue to work until this is cleaned up and hold ourselves to the same standards that we would anyone that would have created this situation." Shaun McGrath, an EPA official, told residents at one of the community meetings, according the New York Times.

Some residents derided the agency, calling it the "Environmental Pollution Agency". The EPA is still investigating the health effects of the leak, which included heavy metals including lead and arsenic. The discoloured water, which is now beginning to dissipate, stretched more than 100 miles into neighbouring New Mexico.
