The Greeley City Council has joined the movement against a proposed Uranium mine
near Nunn saying it comes with too many unanswered questions and could hurt people and
business in northern Colorado. The council on Tuesday joined the Fort Collins City Council
and the boards of trustees for Timnath and Wellington in passing resolutions opposed to
the mine -- which would be located between Nunn and Wellington. Several other
municipalities in northern Colorado are considering resolutions against the mine including
the Board of Larimer County Commissioners and the Nunn Town Board. However, unlike the
other elected bodies that passed resolutions opposed to the mine, the Greeley City
Council's vote on the resolution was not unanimous. Mayor Ed Clark said he didn't like the
wording of the resolution. It passed 5-2 with Clark and Councilman Chuck Archibeque -- who
said the mayor's concerns should be addressed before proceeding -- dissenting. Clark
didn't elaborate on what wording he didn't like to see in the resolution. Both were
overridden eventually by the votes of the other council members who said the council
should take a strong stance against the uranium mine now. The uranium mine would "have a
mental impact even if it doesn't have a physical impact, " said Councilman Carrol Martin,
who added that he doesn't believe Powertech Uranium Corp. -- the Canadian company
proposing the mine -- can clean up the site like it says it can. "It's like putting a 'no
industry' sign up. "
