Dear Romi,
Uranium mining? Next door to Grand Canyon National Park? That's right. It could
happen, and we urgently need your help to prevent it.
New uranium mining claims--on public lands that drain directly into Grand
Canyon National Park--have the potential to contaminate the Colorado River,
which flows through the park; damage sacred sites of multiple Native American
tribes; fragment and harm wildlife; and spoil the integrity of landscapes
adjacent to one of America's most iconic places.
Due to these concerns, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar imposed a moratorium in
2009 on approximately 1 million acres so land managers could prepare an
environmental review that includes a variety of management options. Alternative
B of the environmental review provides maximum protection by extending the
moratorium on all 1 million acres for 20 years.
Take Action: Please tell the Obama Administration that you support full
protection of the Grand Canyon watershed provided by Alternative B of the draft
Environmental Impact Statement. Personalizing your comments to include your own
perspective and concerns will carry more weight in the government's
analysis. Your comments must be sent by May 4th!
Thank you, once again, for taking a moment to help protect Grand Canyon and its
natural and cultural treasures. National parks belong to all of us; it's up
to us to make sure we pass them on to future generations unharmed.
Sincerely,
David Nimkin
Southwest Regional Director
