Salazar Extends Mining Moratorium Near Grand Canyon
UPDATE - January 9, 2012 - Carrying through on plans announced by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar at Grand Canyon National Park on June 20, 2011, the Obama adminstration announced today a 20-year ban on new uranium mining claims on more than 1 million acres of land near the Grand Canyon.
According to the most recent U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service survey (2006), 1.5 million people participate in hunting, fishing, and wildlife-watching in Arizona each year, contributing $2.1 billion to the state economy.
"The rush to provide economic development will be short-lived compared to the hundreds of years, or for eternity, when watersheds are polluted for everyone and no remediation is possible," said Jim Walker of the Arizona Council of Trout Unlimited.
