    It’s in the watershed of a major tributary to the snake river. This isn’t a matter of what goes on a few miles from the dig site. I grew up along a creek with mine runoff in it. After a big enough rainstorm it wasn’t uncommon to see a bunch of dead fish and frogs and such. Yellow foam on the water all the time. There will be a cost to this.

      Oh for sure, but it’s not going to get reported on because the point source is very far away from metropolitan and farming areas.
