When you think of any river in Colorado more than likely what comes to mind is pristine running water, but that's not the case with the Animas River today it looks like a cesspool of orange murk. The Environmental Protection Agency believes this orange-colored water consists of toxic metals including arsenic, lead, zinc, copper, aluminum and cadmium. San Juan County Executive Officer Kim Carpenter declared a state of emergency on Friday night.
