Miner to pay 30 million settlement over Summitville mine disaster
Canadian businessman Robert Friedland agreed to pay 30 million to settle Colorado’s cleanup lawsuit over the 1992 Summitville cyanide spill that killed life along the Alamosa River. Attorney General Salazar called the deal a major environmental victory, with funds to aid spill victims and restore the watershed. The case, tied to mining practices and cleanup costs, ends litigation while Friedland reserves rights to pursue other claims. Environmentalists note Friedland’s history with controversial projects, but see the settlement as progress.
