This mine is not even 20 miles from my home. I am concerned about the effect this mine will have on our health, economy, and quality of life. Please do all you can to stop this mine from coming to CO. I assume you live in the area, I cannot imagine you want the kind of pollution this mine can generate to contaminate your family, friends and town. I don't either. Please do all you can to stop the mine.

Powertech's plan to drill into the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer for uranium jeopardizes our entire community with the potential release of uranium and other heavy metals into our drinking water supply. It is widely recognized that there has *never* been an in-situ uranium project that has succeeded in restoring the surrounding groundwater to its original baseline condition. The EPA has a well documented history of this particular mining method' s poor track record in protecting water resources. My husband and I have a three year old daughter and another child on the way. We have always viewed northern Colorado as the ideal environment to live and raise our family in. The realization that this type of uranium mining could take place in our back yard is incredibly disturbing to us. What kind of future would we be leaving for our children should our drinking water supplies become contaminated with carcinogenic heavy metals? I implore you, in your position as a voice of Northern Colorado family values, to adopt a resolution that will prohibit uranium mining in Weld county.

In an effort to protect our water supplies and therefore our socioeconomic status, I encourage you to read the following articles: http://www.coloradoan.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071003/NEWS01/710030319/1002 <http://www.coloradoan.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071003/NEWSo1/710030319/1002> http://www.coloradoan.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007709280349 <http://www.coloradoan.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007709280349> Plus this latest press release from CARD: COLORADOANS AGAINST RESOURCE DESTRUCTION (C.A.R.D. ) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MORE MINING COMPANIES EXPLORE FOR URANIUM -- NORTHERN COLORADO FACED WITH HISTORIC CHOICE Contact: Lilias Jones Jarding, Ph.D. Home: (970) 493-1877 Cell: (970) 412-1924 E-Mail: liliasj@hotmail.com e :0eil n 13- (6`- 20-0-7 1 Website: www.nunnglow.com Thanks to an investigation by a local reporter, northern Colorado citizens now know that at least five companies are exploring for radioactive uranium in our area. With the involvement of additional foreign-based uranium companies, it is clear that our area, its water, and our way of life are threatened on a historic level. "We are faced with a historic choice here in northern Colorado, " said Lilias Jarding, a spokesperson for Coloradoans Against Resource Destruction (C.A.R.D. ) . "We have been working to become the `renewable energy capital' of the U.S. We can either continue on this path or allow non-renewable uranium to be mined here. We have a choice between clean energy with long-term economic benefits - or mining that leaves a lasting legacy of contamination and stops other types of economic development." Recently, over 1300 jobs have been generated by the renewable energy industry in our area, an industry that is supported by C.S.U. research and by Governor Ritter. A spike in the value of uranium has led mining companies to dust off 25-year-old reports and stake claims on potential production sites - including places like northern Colorado, where there has never been large-scale uranium mining. C.A.R.D. , a local organization, opposes uranium mining. They point out that all uranium projects involve the release of radiation into the environment, and they are plagued by water contamination and violations of environmental laws. Over $2 billion - mostly taxpayer funds -- has been spent over the last 25 years to clean up contamination from past uranium projects - and many sites are still not cleaned up. Four of the five companies seeking to mine uranium in northern Colorado are from other countries - three from Canada and one from Australia. Rising uranium prices are driven in large part by expected demand in China and India. Please do everything in your power to listen to the over 3500 concerned citizens who have already signed our petition imploring our elected officials to protect our water supplies. Robin Davis 2 Hello
