And, of course, it's entirely the EPA's fault that an abandoned mine had
been festering for almost a hundred years, leaking "toxic water at a
rate of 50 to 250 gallons a minute" even before the EPA sent a
contractor's crew to investigate remediating the existing leakage.

Based on the track records, Governments are a poor choice to make such
decisions. I think the Navaho would say the Government should go to
Hell based on recent events on their reservation. A mining company
would never have made such a stupid mistake and if they had they could
be sued.

I'm not a "let the government do everything" type of guy (despite a

government interfering in our day-to-day lives.
But who better than the government to decide on environmental and land
use issues like this? And if not the government, then who else?
Chopping down an entire mountain has (to say the least) rather far
reaching and long term consequences. Interested parties go far beyond
private land owners; society at large has a say in something like this.
