Communities Across the West Face Contaminated Groundwater from Uranium Mining



NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council)

TAKE ACTION
Tell the EPA to protect this scarce water and the communities who depend on it.
 TAKE ACTION 
Friends,

Across the arid west, from Texas to Wyoming, small, black boxes dot the landscape. They look benign enough — horses and cows may graze nearby — but they're busy pumping chemicals into scarce western groundwater, leaching uranium off the rock, and leaving a contaminated mess.

This dangerous mining method, known as "in-situ leach" (ISL) mining, has been practiced for decades with no EPA oversight.

After years of study, the Obama administration proposed a rule last year that would protect this water and the communities that depend on it.

Now, President Trump's EPA has a chance to weaken that rule — a decision that would be a boon to the energy industry and foreign-owned business while leaving Americans across the western states to pay the price with a future of contaminated groundwater.

Tell EPA Administrator Pruitt not to halt implementation of critical protections for western water — add your voice before the public comment period ends on October 16.

Uranium mining anywhere poses significant risks. But for this vast expanse of the American west, where water resources are already dwindling, it makes no sense at all.

As uranium-rich fluids are drawn out of the earth, chemically and radioactively toxic groundwater in the aquifer is left behind. Additional radioactive pollutants must be pumped into deeper aquifers.

Once ISL mining takes place and the groundwater is contaminated, it's been proven nearly impossible to clean up. Mining companies' promises to restore groundwater quality have repeatedly failed, leaving ISL sites across the west with hazardous chemicals in their water and the possibility that these will eventually spread beyond the mining site.

Plus, attempts to restore groundwater quality can lead to a large drop in water tables, which means communities are stuck with water supplies that are not only contaminated but rapidly dwindling.

At this critical moment, when the one rule that would protect communities across the west hangs in the balance, we must generate nothing less than an all-out national outcry that will compel Pruitt to protect the American people from polluted groundwater — and hold the polluters accountable.

Tell Administrator Pruitt: We will not stand by and let scarce western groundwater, a crucial resource for Americans, be contaminated with toxic, radioactive, and chemical waste — finalize a strong rule!

Thank you for speaking out in defense of clean water for all.

 Sincerely,

Rhea Suh
President, NRDC

RESPECTED FRIENDS,


Donald Trump advanced the Keystone XL Pipeline. He’s trying to roll back protections for our public lands and waters. And with Trump in the White House and Republicans in control of Congress, we face an uphill battle to make progress in the fight to prevent climate chaos. One of the key ways to resist Trump’s agenda is to take him to court. So we’ve developed a legal strategy to prevent Trump from destroying our planet -- while pushing key agencies like the EPA to do more to protect our environment.Here’s the problem: Stopping Trump in court is going to be a long fight. We need to make sure we have the resources to win. Friends, can we count on you to help?
Give a monthly donation of $5 or more to Friends of the Earth and help fight Trump in court! Trump’s attempt to build Keystone XL violates the law. His State Department failed to fully consider the pipeline’s impact on the whooping crane, which is protected under the Endangered Species Act. Trump and his administration are trying to get around their legal obligations just so they can hand this pipeline to TransCanada. So we’re suing them.
At the same time, we’re using the courts to advance protections for our environment. We’re working to force the Administration to reduce pollution from aircraft, factory farms, and more. If we win these cases, we’ll ensure that the government protects people like you and me and makes progress on climate change -- no matter who’s in the White House.
And we’re not just taking Trump’s word for it that he’s following the law. We’re using the Freedom of Information Act to force his Administration to be transparent about how they’re enforcing our laws. If they try to get around the law, we’ll hold them accountable. By chipping in $5 a month -- that’s less than a dollar a day -- you can help keep this important work going.  Give a monthly donation of $5 or more to Friends of the Earth and help fight Trump in court! Trump is trying to stop our legal strategy from succeeding. He’s working to stack the federal courts with young, extreme right-wing judges for lifetime appointments to the bench. And Republicans in Congress are helping him.So while we’re fighting in the courts, we can’t ignore Congress. That’s why we’re building a team of rapid response volunteers across the country. These activists are showing up at town hall meetings, fundraisers, and anywhere else they can find their Representatives and demanding that they step up to protect the environment.Our environment is under threat like never before. The clock is ticking to prevent climate chaos. We’re pulling out all the stops to prevent Trump and Republicans in Congress from destroying our planet -- but we can’t do this without you. Give a monthly donation of $5 or more to Friends of the Earth and help fight Trump in court!

Standing with you,
Marcie Keever,
Legal director,
Friends of the Earth
