Golden History Moment
46 Years Ago
The September 30, 1976 Transcript reported that Clear Creek had turned bright orange the day before. According to the EPA, “the coloring came from iron oxide-saturated water flushed out of a mine just downstream from Blackhawk after weekend rains. [They speculate that] water accumulated in ponds in the mine as a result of numerous rains over the past month. An EPA investigator located the pollution source but was unable to get into the mine.”
You may recall a similar incident involving the Animas River in 2015. An EPA contractor ruptured a dam on an old mine and released contaminated water into the river. The High Country News described the water that time as “…a very bright orange color, and it was very silty…. You could see the sludge roiling around in the water. It was a shocking sight.”
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
