That is why I have always stated that the victims of this disaster must be put first and that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) superfund process in the Bonita Peak Mining District must work for the surrounding communities. The announcement by the EPA, placing Bonita Peak on the expedited superfund list is welcome news, and I hope the EPA will continue to put the needs of these communities first as the cleanup unfolds.” # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
