Action Alert: Send Public Comments to MLRB by March 15th |
|
The Mined Land Reclamation Board (MLRB) has finalized a hearing schedule for proposed state rules that will determine how Powertech USA can proceed with its plans to construct a uranium mine in Weld County less than 15 miles northeast of Fort Collins. The MLRB is asking for the public to make its voice heard on the proposed rules at an April 15th hearing at the I-25 Embassy Suites Hotel at the Ranch (1pm to 9pm) in Loveland. It will be the first formal public hearing on the rules, with an additional one (or more) likely in Denver. Also, there are two public participation tracks in this rulemaking: one for those wanting formal “party status” in the rulemaking (along with formal legal obligations); and one for the citizens and general public wanting to be heard, but not be a formal “party” to the rulemaking. The MLRB has also set a March 15th deadline for written public comments on the draft rules. If you want to be heard on this critical issue, we urge you to provide written comments. |
