Re: Permit#P2023018
Dear Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety,
Sierra Club's mission is"to explore,enjoy,and protect the wild places of the earth;to practice and promote the
responsible use of the earth's ecosystems and resources;and to educate and enlist humanity to protect and
restore the quality of the natural and human environments."Sierra Club has more than 2.1 million members and
supporters nationwide, including more than 80,000 Coloradans.Although we are comprised of a diverse
population,the tie that binds us is our commitment to conserving those places, processes and organisms that
will sustain our natural heritage with all of its biological diversity.
Accordingly,the Colorado Chapter of the Sierra Club is opposed to the issuance of an exploratory drilling permit
for the Slick Rock Canyon Uranium project.This proposed uranium exploratory drilling and mining development
project has a high possibility of harming human health,violating environmental justice and equity,and
degrading the region's wildlife and natural resources.
1. Uranium extraction processes separate uranium from its decay products which are also radioactive and
contain most(80-90%)of the radioactivity in the rock(ore).The solid radioactive wastes that are left over from
the milling processes,tailings and the liquid wastes raffinates, remain radioactive and contain hazardous
chemicals from the recovery process(EPA 2023).
