The Sunnyside Gold Corp. and its corporate owner will pay about $45 million under yet another settlement connected to the 2015 Gold King Mine spill, which dumped a yellow plume of heavy metals into the Animas River, federal officials announced Friday.
to the Navajo Nation and $11 million to New Mexico, downstream of the mines and spill site.
The Gold King spill sent at least 880,000 pounds of metals into the Animas River, through three states and across two Native American tribes. Sunnyside officials said in December that the company wasn’t responsible for the 2015 spill. Rather, the company installed concrete bulkheads downstream from the mine, which raised water levels in the area, worsening the spill that the EPA officials caused.
“This settlement addresses the cleanup responsibility of the private mining companies and the federal government and ensures that site cleanup work will continue,” Larry Starfield, acting assistant administrator for the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, said in the release. Cleanup work includes stabilizing mine waste and mitigating contamination of surface water, the release said.
