Panel to consider prohibiting mining
Debbie Bell
The Daily Record
Uranium exploration and mining again are on tap for the Fremont County Planning Commission.
The panel will meet Tuesday evening in regular session with an agenda that includes a public hearing on a proposed amendment to the Fremont County Master Plan that would prohibit mining in certain areas of the county.
The amendment, submitted by the Tallahassee Area Community group, would prohibit mining in the “Mountain District” of Fremont County. That area covers about 500 square miles in the northern part of the county and another 250 square miles in the south-central part of the county.
TAC formed last year to protest uranium exploration and possible future mining in the Tallahassee area northwest of Cañon City. Lee Alter, chairman of TAC’s government affairs committee, will represent the group in presenting the Master Plan amendment.
In addition to the three-page amendment submitted by TAC, the group also offered its rationale and justification why the amendment should be adopted.
The panel typically does not conduct formal public hearings, but because one of the panel’s charges is to help draft and update the Master Plan, the formal hearing was scheduled.
The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Commissioners Board Room, LL-3, at the County Administration Building, 615 Macon Ave.
