Any U mining project, either here, in the US, or Europe will have to follow STRINGENT environmental guidelines.

In relation to Churchrock - I read this from a report:

"Although in situ leach solution mining of the Churchrock area uranium ores appears to be feasible, the Navajos have objected to the practice. They believe in situ mining will harm the quality of the drinking water in the area. If any uranium mining at all is allowed in the area, it probably will be by underground mining methods."

Churchrock is in McKinley County - Rio Puerco is in Sandoval County
