This radioactive transport from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GrandCanyon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrandCanyon</span></a> means even more deadly waste for another Native community -- the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhiteMesaUte" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteMesaUte</span></a> community in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Utah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Utah</span></a>. </p><p>"Now, with little or no information along the haul route, the Navajo government expects the Dine' Chapters on the route to each have an emergency preparedness plan. Leona asked if the Dine' communities are aware of this and whether the Navajo Chapters are certified to deal with radioactive emergencies.</p><p>"'Who are their First Responders?' Ultimately, Dine' will have to confront the Navajo President and the Navajo Department of Justice, she said.<br>'We were not included in that agreement,' Leona said of the agreement between the Navajo Nation and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Energy</span></a> Fuels.</p><p>"'There was no free, prior and informed consent,' Leona said, quoting the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UNDRIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UNDRIP</span></a>]. 'The people in the communities were not consulted.'</p><p>"'How can they start transporting on February 12th, when there aren't even any checkpoints? We don't even have an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AirMonitoring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AirMonitoring</span></a> system,' Leona said of the lack of preparation for radioactive<br>transport on the Navajo Nation.<br>Energy Fuels plans to pass through Navajo communities with six to ten trucks of radioactive waste,<br>beginning on Feb. 12, 2025.<br> <br>"Leona urged communities to organize, and pointed out that Navajo Chapters can have their own checkpoints. With the new push for '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DrillBabyDrill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DrillBabyDrill</span></a>,' by the U.S. President, the Navajo Nation faces an uncertain future, she said. The U.S. is investing money into the development of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriticalEarthMinerals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriticalEarthMinerals</span></a> and investing in Energy Fuels mill at White Mesa Ute.</p><p>"'We need to push our government to do what we want -- not what the federal government wants.'</p><p>"'It's going to get worse because they think nuclear is clean energy,' Leona said of the push for alternative energy.</p><p>"The Navajo Nation's agreement with Energy Fuels means more dangerous radioactive dumping in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhiteMesaUte" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteMesaUte</span></a> community. In the agreement, Energy Fuels states it will transport 10,000 tons of uranium-bearing cleanup materials from abandoned <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UraniumMines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UraniumMines</span></a> within the Navajo Nation.<br> <br>"Leona was recently voted by the Navajo Nation Council to serve on the Diné <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UraniumRemediation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UraniumRemediation</span></a> Advisory Commission, in an advisory position to the Navajo President and Council.</p><p>"Speaking in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TubaCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TubaCity</span></a> on Saturday, Leona said Haul No! began in 2016 when it became known that the Pinyon Plain uranium mine would begin mining in the Grand Canyon. Now, there is the new battle as the Navajo Nation government has approved uranium transport through Navajo communities to the White Mesa Ute community.</p><p>"Energy Fuels <a

DoomsdaysCW<p>A look at the bills to amend <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maine</span></a> mineral mining laws in this year’s Legislature</p><p>By Kate Cough<br>February 12, 2023</p><p>"All the way back in the fall of 2021, I called a geologist to ask what he thought about plans by the Canadian junior mining company, Wolfden, to dig for zinc and copper up near Patten, just east of the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument.</p><p>We talked about the proposal for awhile, and just before we hung up, I asked the question I ask at the end of every interview, one that almost always elicits an unexpected answer and is often the very best way to find new stories: What didn’t we talk about that you want me to know? In this case it definitely didn’t disappoint: after pausing for a moment, the geologist said well, there’s something interesting going on over in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WesternMaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WesternMaine</span></a>…</p><p>"And thus began my (armchair) adventure into the world of lithium deposits, from the salt flats of South America to the hard-rock mines of western Australia, and, of course, into what is thought to be the world’s richest hard-rock deposit, in the sleepy town of Newry, near the New Hampshire border. A year-and-a-half later the story continues, now with a new player: lawmakers, who have introduced (at last count) ten bills aimed at altering Maine’s mining regulations.</p><p>"The bills (I was only able to review the full text of one, as most are still in the Revisor’s office) run the gamut. One, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LR1624" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LR1624</span></a>, sponsored by Rep. Maggie O’Neil of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Saco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Saco</span></a>, proposes a moratorium on lithium mining, while others (LR 1304, An Act to Promote Sustainable Lithium Mining in Maine, sponsored by Rep. Mike Soboleski of Phillips) are more full-throated in their support of the activity. (It’s worth noting that moratoriums are temporary holds on an activity designed to give regulators time to put in place rules, not permanent bans, as is often thought.)</p><p>"Here’s the full list:</p><p>- LR 1624, Rep.

Lisa Keim of Oxford: An Act Concerning Lithium Deposits</p><p>"The reason we’re seeing all of these bills, of course, is that Maine’s 2017 mining law prohibits mining for 'metallic minerals' in open pits larger than three acres. The deposit in Newry is already partially exposed, and numerous experts have said that open pit mining (as opposed to an underground shaft) is the only logical way to remove the rocks, which, they also point out, do not pose the same <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environmental</span></a> risks as other types of metal deposits. But all mining poses some risks, and not everyone is on board with the idea of digging <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GiantHoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GiantHoles</span></a> in the earth, even if the end product is an essential part of the transition away from fossil fuels.</p><p>"State regulators have acknowledged the risks involved in mining this deposit are different but say their hands are tied: because 'metallic mineral' does not have a commonly-agreed upon meaning in the scientific community, and because legislators did not specifically exclude lithium from the 2017 rules, the Newry deposit should be considered a metallic mineral. (Meanwhile, the Freemans, the gem-hunters who own the land and identified the deposit, are challenging the DEP’s decision in court.)</p><p>"Of the lawmakers I spoke to, all expressed a desire to support federal efforts to boost domestic production of critical minerals while ensuring the spirit and integrity of Maine’s 2017 mining law remains intact. (In case you were wondering whether the feds are serious, look no further than a $700 million government loan to a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NevadaLithiumMine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NevadaLithiumMine</span></a> announced earlier this week.)"</p><p><a href="https://themainemonitor.org/maine-lawmakers-look-to-amend-lithium-mining-laws/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">themainemonitor.org/maine-lawm</span><span class="invisible">akers-look-to-amend-lithium-mining-laws/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineLegislature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MaineLegislature</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MainePolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MainePolitics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectTheForest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectTheForest</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Environment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoMining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoOpenPitMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoOpenPitMining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RecycleLithium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RecycleLithium</span></a></p>
