Cities water supply poisoned by- you guessed it: an oil pipelaine leak

Quelle surpise..... NOT!!!

Benzene found in Montana water supply after Yellowstone oil spill Environment The Guardian

Up to 50,000 gallons of oil spilled on Saturday from a break in a 12-inch pipeline owned by Wyoming-based Bridger Pipeline Co.

Representatives from Montana and the US Environmental Protection Agency said preliminary tests did not show cause for concern but additional tests ordered after residents complained of a petroleum or diesel-like smell from their tap water revealed the benzene.

Rick Snyder Republican governor of Michigan is the one who poisoned the citizens of Michigan to save a buck.

Republicans don't just say government sucks, they prove it.

Good, then we can eliminate the EPA since they serve no function.

It does when Democrats are in charge but then you accuse them of over regulating.

What you need to eliminate are Republican governors

Democrats are not in charge of the EPA?
Who said the left live in a fantasy bubble world?

The EPA that dropped the ball in Michigan were GOP Gov. Rick Snyder cronies.

This is another example of how Republicans are never at fault for anything. Rick Snyder failed us doll face, not Obama and not Democrats. Stop being a partisan hack nut job. You sound really stupid right now.

so the deniers have nothing. Go figure. Any adults want to chime-in perchance?

^ notice how bobbin' knob hasn't supplied a single source for his denier bloviations. It rarely does. Lazy conservatives. LOTS of them in this sub-forum.

Your own link says it isnt an issue.

EPA does not report to States. Only to Obama. And like Colorado, this proves the EPA is worthless and should be abolished.

File under shit happens dummy............

So what should we do? Cap off all oil pipelines and take your iPhone away?

PLEASE find these bozo's some meaningful things in life......some real responsibilities so their not ocding on stoopid stuff.

No, a 60 year old pipeline with corrosion problems creates a major problem, and poisons a pristine river. File that under criminal negligence on the part of the pipeline owner. A CEO should be doing jail time in a hardtime Federal lockup.

Bullshit. The EPA on the spot violated every safety protocol on the books and then after they had dumped the toxic mess in the river they violated their own laws and didn't report it to the local authorities for over 24 hours. They fucked up big time and the only question now is whether it was intentional as some claim.


"Based on my 47 years of experience as a professional geologist," Taylor wrote, "it appears to me that the EPA is setting your town and the area up for a possible Superfund blitzkrieg."

Superfund is, according to the EPA's website,

the name given to the environmental program established to address abandoned hazardous waste sites. It is also the name of the fund established by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended.... It allows the EPA to clean up such sites and to compel responsible parties to perform cleanups or reimburse the government for EPA-lead cleanups.

Taylor references a June meeting between the newspaper's editors and a representative from the EPA, who reportedly told them "we don't have an agenda" – meaning the agency – a statement which Taylor described as "either ignorant naivety or an outright falsehood."

He went on to lay out "the scenario that will occur based on my experience," in which he says that, after the plugging of the breached dam, exfiltrating water will be retained behind the ramparts, "accumulating at a rate of approximately 500 gallons per minute."

Geologist predicted EPA would intentionally pollute Animas River to secure federal funding

My, my, we are talking of the spill in Montana. There is a seperate thread on the Animas. Mr. Westwall, you are trying to change the subject once again. This thread is about a spill on the Yellowstone that should not have happened. The owner of that pipeline was completely at fault. In fact, over half the pipelines that are carrying oil in this nation are over age, and running at reduced pressure because of corrosion. There have been many failures, and deaths have resulted from those failures. Time to hold the companies that have made vast profits off those pipelines responsible for there upkeep and replacement.

yes. Thank you.

Back to topic people.

Michigan department of environmental quality aka Rick Snyder appointees hid the problem from the public.

So now you want Obama and the federal government to have enough control over the states we can regulate and assure Republican governors aren't poisoning our poorest citizens?

No it should be run by competent people not political cronies. And Republicans should stop Defunding such programs that are important.

You probably want to privatize the EPA, yes? What would that be like?

I agree, Obama and his minions are incompetent.

And no, I said disband as in dissolve. Nixon's agency has outgrown its usefulness. We no longer protect bears, now we protect the ticks on the bear.
