U.S. Representative Marilyn Musgrave is urging the Larimer County Commissioners to oppose Powertech's proposed uranium mine in Weld County according to The Greeley Tribune "reg". From the article:
Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, R-Fort Morgan, has sent a letter to the Board of Larimer County Commissioners urging it to oppose a proposed uranium mine near Nunn. The letter follows a similar one Musgrave sent the Board of Weld County Commissioners in January asking it to oppose the mine over health and safety concerns. "Like many of my constituents, I am particularly concerned about the impact this mining could have on our groundwater resources in northern Colorado," Musgrave said in a release. Musgrave also said the in-situ -- or "in-place" -- mining method that is being proposed has the "potential to contaminate the underground aquifers that our families, communities and agricultural producers rely upon for clean safe water."[...]
The Weld commissioners -- in conjunction with state and federal agencies -- will have ultimate say about if the mine goes in, and Powertech is in the midst of collecting data at the site to present to permitting agencies.
