Soon after Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes called for an updated environmental study on the mine, warning of potential risks of allowing the mine to proceed under the authority of a nearly 40-year-old Environmental Impact Statement. </p><p>"In June, Tribal members and conservation groups delivered a petition with more than 17,000 signatures urging Gov. Hobbs to use her authority to close the mine. In January, 80 groups and scientists called on her to do the same. New research indicates that the best way to protect the waters of the region is to shut down the mine."</p><p><a href="https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2024/08/protests-against-grand-canyon-uranium.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2024/08</span><span class="invisible">/protests-against-grand-canyon-uranium.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HaulNo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HaulNo</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoMiningWithoutConsent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoMiningWithoutConsent</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NavajoNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NavajoNation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PinyonPlainUraniumMine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PinyonPlainUraniumMine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReaderSupportedNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReaderSupportedNews</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMesa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMesa</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoUraniumMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoUraniumMining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Navajo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Navajo</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InformedConsent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InformedConsent</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalRacism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ShutDownPinyonPlain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShutDownPinyonPlain</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectTheSacred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectTheSacred</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Din%C3%A9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Diné</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Din%C3%A9bikeyah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dinébikeyah</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dinetah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dinetah</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoUraniumMiningWithoutConsent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoUraniumMiningWithoutConsent</span></a></p>
