Just how polluted is the river? Is drinking water in peril? Are businesses dependent on the river out of luck?
One question that has been answered is the size of the spill: more than triple than originally estimated. The U.S. Geological Survey reported the size of the spill to be more than 3 million gallons, compared with the initial EPA estimate of 1 million gallons.
In a statement from NMED, state engineer Tom Blaine said that the EPA took no action to alert residents of New Mexico to the potential danger, and did not notify the state directly.

The EPA should get the same level of fines and punishment that any private enterprise would receive. If BP or some other large corporation did the same thing, we wouldn't hear the end of it.
We can keep water, air, etc clean without
their bureaucratic butts getting fatter in
DC every day.
