  Hardrock mines contain the most valuable minerals extracted in the United States, including silver and gold, but the majority of these mines were abandoned by their owners when they were exhausted, causing caused millions of dollars of environmental damage and attendant human health risks. As demonstrated by the Gold King Mine Spill, US taxpayers have borne the ultimate costs of cleanup. The EPA has already taken responsibility for the Gold King Mine Spill, and has spent over $6,300,000 to reimburse the states of Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, as well as the Navajo and Ute Indian tribes for their costs. In November 2016 the EPA issued proposed regulations governing Hardrock mining financial guarantees, to which a number of western mining states have objected, citing federalism concerns. Hardrock mining preemption conflicts have also made their way into the federal courts. The U.S. Supreme Court’s May 2017 denial of certification in New Mexico v. Colorado and the pending case of Rinehart v. California present forthright “obstacle preemption” issues.
