File - In this Aug. 11, 2015, file photo, wastewater streams from the Gold King Mine in southwestern Colorado. The spill was inadvertently triggered by the Environmental Protection Agency, which later created a Superfund district that includes the Gold King and nearly 50 other mining sites in the area. On Monday, Feb. 25, 2019, Sunnyside Gold Corp. said the EPA is mismanaging the cleanup and should be removed as the agency in charge. Sunnyside owns mining property in the Superfund district and has been targeted by the EPA to help pay for the cleanup. (Geoff Liesik/The Deseret News via AP, File)
