Katie Hobbs today urging her to use her authority to close the Pinyon Plain uranium mine that threatens the waters of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GrandCanyon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrandCanyon</span></a> and the Havasupai Tribe.</p><p>"This comes after the groups, scientists and many others sent a letter to the governor in January outlining the threats posed by this mine and asking for her assistance with its closure.</p><p>"'The Havasupai Tribe, other Tribal leaders, and those who care about protecting Grand Canyon and its waters have fought the Pinyon Plain uranium mine for decades because it threatens the waters of Grand Canyon and the Havasupai,' said Sandy Bahr, director for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SierraClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SierraClub</span></a>’s Grand Canyon (Arizona) Chapter. 'Gov. Hobbs can and should help shut down this mine as once the mine contaminates the groundwater, there is no way to clean it up. The best way to protect Grand Canyon and the people who depend on its waters is to move forward with closure of this mine.'</p><p>"The Pinyon Plain mine, which began extracting uranium ore on Jan. 8, [2024] is seven miles south of Grand Canyon National Park and inside the newly designated Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument. Although President Biden’s national monument designation permanently bans new mining claims and development inside the monument, it exempts preexisting claims with valid existing rights like the Pinyon Plain uranium mine.</p><p>"'Neither industry nor regulators can guarantee that the Pinyon Plain uranium mine won’t irretrievably damage aquifers that feed Grand Canyon’s precious springs,' said Taylor McKinnon, Southwest director at the Center for Biological Diversity. 'That’s not a risk worth taking. At the Center we stand with the Havasupai Tribe asking Gov. Hobbs to close the mine now.'</p><p>"The petitions delivered to the governor by groups including the Sierra Club, Center for Biological Diversity, National Parks Conservation Association, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WildArizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WildArizona</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChispaArizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChispaArizona</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HaulNo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HaulNo</span></a>!, along with Tribal members, request that she 'do everything [she] can to help protect the waters of Grand Canyon, the new national monument, and these waters that are essential to the existence of the Havasupai people.
