Barrasso, McCain blast lack of criminal charges for Gold King

摘要

Senate Republicans today joined their House colleagues in demanding that the Justice Department explain why its Colorado office decided not to pursue criminal charges against U.S. EPA employees involved in last year's Gold King mine spill. EPA helped cause the 3-million-gallon spill of toxic wastewater at the Colorado abandoned mine site, contaminating waterways across three states. The agency at the site was trying to prevent such an incident.
