Ask Powertech to stop opposing environmental protections on uranium mining

A Canadian-based company, Powertech Uranium, is proposing the Centennial Mine, an injection or “in-situ” uranium mining operation that would deliberately pump and contaminate the local aquifer with chemicals designed to force or “leach” out uranium and toxic heavy metals from underground. Injection uranium mining projects regularly increase radioactive and toxic chemicals, such as arsenic, selenium, radium, uranium, molybdenum, and vanadium into groundwater. These pollutants are known to harm human health, wildlife, livestock and agriculture.

Powertech is opposing sensible protections for our environment and for public health. Tell Powertech to drop their opposition and support this no-nonsense bill.

Letter	Dear Powertech Uranium, Please drop your opposition to House Bill 1161, the Land & Water Stewardship Bill, and support sensible environmental and public health protections on uranium mining. Colorado's wild lands, our waters and our communities shouldn't be subjected to reckless uranium project proposals. Please show your commitment to being a responsible company and support sensible protections for our environment and our public health. Sincerely,
