Epa Names Contractor Involved In Colorado Sediment Spill

DURANGO — The Environment Protection Agency says a recent water contamination incident in Colorado involved a different contractor than August's Gold King Mine spill. The Durango Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1LIpRkm ) that contractor HDR Engineering Inc. was involved in last week's contamination of Elk Creek near Crested Butte. On Oct. 6, about 600 gallons of sediment-bearing water spilled from a holding pond at Standard Mine into Elk Creek.

HDR had subcontracted the work to Harrison Western, which then subcontracted to another company for vacuum truck operations. Read more on Colorado Springs Gazette
