New Mexico Seeks $1.5M Reimbursement From EPA for Gold King Mine Spill Costs

摘要

New Mexico's Environment Department secretary submitted a bill for $1.5 million to the Environmental Protection Agency, seeking reimbursement for emergency response costs incurred in his state in connection with the agency-triggered Gold King Mine spill in Colorado and associated downstream impacts. Secretary Ryan Flynn told Bloomberg BNA in a telephone interview March 15 that it is too early to assess the overall monetary damage that was caused by the spill on the Animas and San Juan rivers.
