In 2015, 3 million gallons of polluted mine water burst from the abandoned Gold King Mine near Silverton, Colorado, and turned streams and rivers bright orange as the flow traveled all the way to Lake Powell nearly 400 miles away. That catastrophic event made the news and the mine was designated a Superfund site by the EPA. But in fact, hundreds of legacy mines in the Rocky Mountain west have potential to leak toxic water into the watershed. Rory Cowie is an expert on high-alpine mine water monitoring, and his stories about his work at these hazardous sites are fascinating. Listen now.
