WISE Uranium reports Cogema seeks approval for groundwater restoration at Wyoming's Christensen Ranch in-situ leach site - with uranium levels still up to 27 times the target restoration value and up to 128 times the drinking water standard.

On March 5, 2008, Cogema Mining Inc. submitted the Wellfield restoration report for Mine Units 2-6 of its Christensen Ranch uranium in-situ leach mine in Wyoming. Constituents that exceeded Target Restoration Values (TRVs) and either WDEQ or EPA standards in at least one Mine Unit were iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se), total dissolved solids (TDS), uranium (U) and radium-226 (Ra-226).  According to Cogema, groundwater within the production zone has been restored to the pre-mining class of use and the groundwater restoration meets the requirements for unconditional restoration approval by WDEQ and NRC.
