Note that the break in the abandoned Hector mine pit near Biwabik on April 24, 2018 discharged massive amounts of toxic red-stained water into the Embarrass River, which then emptied into the Embarrass Lake, with uncertain, but probably devastating long-term consequences.

Except it wasn't toxic, and it wasn't a massive amount. And the DNT has in fact written about the break. That's the kind of journalism you get when you don't pay your writers, I guess.
