From The Cañon City Daily Record: "Fremont County Commissioners were hammered with questions on the issue of uranium mining in the Tallahassee area during a candidates forum Tuesday in Florence...Protecting the water was the main reason [Mike Stiehl] said he voted for it and to protect the property owners who have mineral rights and those who do not. "To my knowledge, Fremont County is the only county in the State of Colorado that requires a permit for exploration and prospecting in the 132 years this has been a state," Stiehl said. "I'm proud we did that to take control of those activities and make that a safe practice." Stiehl pointed out that the Black Range Minerals had paid $60,000 to the county to hire an independent hydrologist to come up with a water plan."
