Colorado mining town's polluted legacy has potential for profit, but some are wary of the risk.
CJK Milling wants to “remine” some of the waste piles to squeeze more gold from ore discarded decades ago .
Backers say the Leadville proposal would speed cleanup work that’s taken decades under federal oversight.
Some residents and officials say stirring up mine waste harkens to a polluted past.
Every minute , 694 gallons ( 2,627 liters) on average of contaminated mine water flows from Leadville ’s Superfund site.
Up to 10% of the water is not treated — tens of millions of gallons annually carrying an estimated six tons of toxic metals.
Water district manager: "We don’t want that going into our water supply".
