Christmas came early for Grand Canyon uranium mines. The secret Santas at the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality gift wrapped air pollution permits for 3 mines.
We are surprised that a federal agency charged with caring for our public lands and waters summarily dismissed a reasonable request to safeguard the Grand Canyon region from toxic and radioactive contamination. But we're not giving up.
Join the Havasupai, Hopi, Navajo, and Hualapai leaders to protect the Grand Canyon’s sacred waters from uranium mining on public lands that surround the national park.
We can use Blind Canyon as a lesson in recognizing the signs of overgrazing, so that when you come across devastation like this when you’re out hiking, biking, or birdwatching, you can report the damage and do your part to defend the land instead of turning a blind eye.
