FILE - In this Aug. 11, 2015 file aerial photo, wastewater streams out of the Gold King Mine in southwestern Colorado after a contractor crew led by the Environmental Protection Agency inadvertently triggered the release of about 3 million gallons of water tainted with heavy metals. On Thursday, April 12, 2018, the EPA defended its management of a wastewater treatment plant processing wastewater that continues to flow from the mine. A mining company accused the EPA of running the plant below full capacity, but the agency said the plant is operating as it was designed to do. (Geoff Liesik/The Deseret News via AP, File)
