- Easily one of the largest environmental catastrophes EPA ever created, the incident became known as the yellow river seen round the world.
- Since November 2015, EPA has continuously treated the discharge of acid mine drainage from the Gold King Mine at its water treatment plant, thereby taking Mr. Henniss property without just compensation.
- EPAs water treatment operations also involve the storage of mine waste, solids, and other contaminants on Mr. Henniss property, again without paying to do so.
- NCLA is a nonpartisan, nonprofit civil rights group founded by prominent legal scholar Philip Hamburger to protect constitutional freedoms from violations by the Administrative State.
