Dear Commissioners, I am a constituent of Weld County Government and need your help. As a Registered Nurse with more than 40 years of experience in healthcare, I am MOST concerned about the rumors that uranium mining (in any form) will be allowed in Northern Weld County. It is understandable that monies can be brought into our County through uranium mining. However, it has been communicated by people in other states that the health of people in the environment following the mining of uranium markedly deteriorated. This is of GRAVE concern not only for my family, but for all the families who live on the prairie in Weld County. And it is my understanding that these mines will be near farms and acreages that house many families. As you well know, children can be seriously hurt by the contamination of water and air, and we have many children in the area. PLEASE HELP US AND DO NOT ALLOW URANIUM MINING IN WELD COUNTY! We are counting on you! P.S. I know you all are very busy, but I sure would appreciate some response. Thank you.

My family and I live in Briggsdale which is in the northeast area of Weld County. I want to let you know about a serious situation in Weld and Laramie Counties which will affect all of Colorado and its economy. It was brought to my family's attention just last week that there are several companies trying to get permission to do Uranium Mining in the Nunn and Briggsdale areas of Weld County. Powertech Uranium Corporation is the name of one of the companies. This affects all of Colorado because the mining process goes through the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer which covers most of the Denver Basin, approximately 7, 000 square miles along the Front Range from Wyoming to Colorado Springs and east to Limon. If any of the Uranium gets into the water then millions of people, livestock and crops will be seriously affected even destroyed along with the economy. Please go to the following website to get more information, www.nunnglow.com. There will be a town meeting in Fort Collins on Tuesday September 25th at 7:00 pm at the Lincoln Center. I hope that you will see this as a serious situation that needs to be addressed now and stopped! Please call me or e-mail me if you have any questions for me. I am just learning about all of this but will help in anyway. One of the sites that Powertech wants to mine is less than a mile from my home in a community with many families, crops and livestock. . We need your support and voice to get the word out to stop this Uranium mining. Please Help Us.

Original Message From: J Green [mailto:jgreencsu@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 7:05 PM To: Douglas Rademacher; Rob Masden; Bill Jerke; William Garcia Subject: Uranium Mine??? Hello, I am writing you about the plan for a Uranium Mine in Weld County. I have been suffering from heavy metal poisoning for 4 years now. I am all too familiar with the consequences of environmental pollution on the mind, body, and spirit. Nothing is worth the risk of potentially poisoning this states citizens. It is putting the whole state people, the water supply, animals, and environment at risk for the monetary profit of a few. I went from graduating Cum Laude from Colorado State University in Biology with a minor in Neuroanatomy to not being able to even work 20 hours a week at a restaurant do to heavy metal poisoning. The risk of damaging even one life is not worth it. There is no truly safe and fool proof way to Uranium mine. There is bound to be a spill, leak or disaster. Please just take a look at the track record. Why would you risk polluting the whole area and ruining its chance for other economic gains in the future. For example I would love to live west of Louisville, but there is no way in hell I would move there do to Rocky Flats. That is a beautiful area that has been tainted by unclean industry. Colorado has already been polluted enough with its mining history. Please reconsider adding to the problem. I strongly disagree with Uranium mining anywhere in Colorado. Thank you for your time. Please feel free to use this letter in any way that you see fit.

It is simply NOT worth the risk that is posed on human lives, the environment, and our existing resources such as our water supplies. We cannot continue to exploit the environment and people for the sake of enriching corporate gain. Alternative ways in life are possible. Please understand that it is not only our world. As my representatives, I urge you all to put a stop to this now. No uranium mines are needed in Colorado. Regards, Saira Hamid Westminster, CO CO/9jvi,uhiCct cn_3 1 � / cam 9i Cy io —i-a' 7 4 /. Hello
