Comment: If they ban uranium mining in the Grand Canyon, they need to ban uranium mining in Virginia! Lake Gaston’s water is piped to Virginia Beach where military and naval bases are located. The uranium mining will ruin Lake Gaston, therefore, would be a security problem!

Native tribes and environmental groups are gathering near the Grand Canyon in Arizona this weekend, calling for protections from proposed uranium mining in the area.
Earlier this week the department of interior ordered a 2 year ban on new mining and exploration.
Tribal groups say the ban should include some 10 thousand existing mining proposals as well.
