Uranium speculators plan to drill 25 exploratory wells along the northeastern boundary of Bears Ears National Monument.
a nonprofit devoted to reforming the law, in a policy statement. “Loose regulations allow mining companies to come in, dig riches out of the ground, and leave the mess. Too often, taxpayers — not the polluters — are paying for cleanup.”
“They are trying to make themselves sound important to drive investor interest,” Newell said. “They are acting like they found the mother load, at the same time they are threatening one of the most scenic landscapes in all of Utah and doing it without public involvement or agency review.” The uranium boom of yesteryear inflicted a legacy of well-documented toxic exposures on tribal communities in the Four Corners region still felt to this day. It would be ironic for the federal government to now allow industry to develop new uranium assets on public lands the Navajo, Ute and Hopi tribes consider sacred without any tribal consultation.
The companies’ announcements, which are aimed at potential investors, make no mention of the claims’ proximity to the 1.3-million-acre national monument designated in 2016 by President Barack Obama to protect the region’s countless archaeological sites. The controversial designation came at the request of Native American tribes with cultural and ancestral ties to the landscape in San Juan County.
