You don’t have to be a uranium expert to have something important to say about a proposed uranium project in your community.

You know your community.

You know the water and land people depend on. You know its history with uranium development. You may know places, practices and experiences that won't show up in a technical report.

That knowledge belongs in the public record.

Tell NMED:
➡️ What concerns you?
➡️ Why does it matter to you, your family or your community?
➡️ What do you want NMED to consider as it reviews the proposed Churchrock uranium project?

Your comment can be as simple as that.

📅 Submit your Community Impact Assessment comment by November 5.

The Cibola County Health Council has asked the MULTICULTURAL ALLIANCE FOR A SAFE ENVIRONMENT (MASE)Multicultural Alliance for a Safe Environment (MASE) to present on the impacts of uranium mining. MASE Environment Justice Coordinator Ava Curtis and Senior Environmental Health Specialist Chris Shuey from the Southwest Research Information Center will present “Uranium Impacts Past, Present and Future” via Zoom on Thursday, November 5 from 10:00 - 11:30 a.m.

This is a welcome response from Cibola County after the disappointing passage last month by the Cibola County Commission of a resolution to support in situ leach uranium mining in the Grants Mineral Belt. Given the legacy of contamination from uranium mining and milling in the area, it is heartening to have a public forum on the past, present and future impacts of uranium, so the community and decision makers become better informed.

Please join us for this informational webinar with Cibola County Health Council!
