In this Aug. 12, 2015 photo, an Environmental Protection Agency contractor works on the cleanup in the aftermath of the blowout at the Gold King Mine, overseeing water flowing from the mine into a series of sediment retention ponds, mitigating damage from the spill of toxic wastewater, outside Silverton, Colo.
