I don't remember the levels, but they were higher than normal. Brushy, a friend of mine did check that stream with water-testing equipment.

Sounds like to me that it had alot of iron in it, a naturally occuring process of natural water wells.

Just the other day, I observed orange acidic water trickling in a stream below a VF due to the expansion of Rt 119 in Letcher County, KY. Surface disturbances of all kinds cause erosion and clog streams with silt. We should not allow practices that destroy our precious watersheds, period. We all live downstream.

Problem is, this would have to include all valley fills for highway and other construction also. Ms Jackson, of the EPA stated recently they would be guided by science. I ask Ms Jackson,what kind of "science" decides one fill is just that , fill and another is waste and toxic??? Oh btw I listened in on a EPA-Media conference call on this very subject a while back. The EPA spokesperson was asked by a reporter with the AP, what will happen if you (the EPA) are challenged on this issue in the supreme court. The spokesperson stated, we the EPA would lose.
