Mine Spill Settlements

FILE - In this Aug. 11, 2015, aerial photo, wastewater streams out of the Gold King Mine in southwestern Colorado after a contractor crew hired by the Environmental Protection Agency inadvertently triggered the release of about 3 million gallons of water tainted with heavy metals. The Navajo Nation's Department of Justice announced on Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2021, it has settled with two mining companies to resolve claims stemming from the 2015 spill that sent wastewater downstream from the inactive Gold King Mine in southwestern Colorado.
