Where was the environment in the Climax Mine epic?

Letter from Maggie Houston-Smith

Mining – January 1995 – Colorado Central Magazine

He mentioned environmental concerns as Queen Victoria did sex — hoping no one would mention its existence. I was at the site some years ago and saw no evidence of environmental concerns.
