Is it any wonder that state agencies keep giving premits to uranium mining operations when those permits cost $2.6 million? The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality gets 82% of it's revenue from selling permits! After all of the disasters created around the state by uranium mining operations we now know why they still get permits! Follow the money!
Yes, I said Victoria. This is not just a Goliad problem. The 5.2 million pound ore body is located under Golaid, Dewitt and Victoria Counties in the watershed of Coleto Creek!
Four siblings own property in the proposed uranium mining area. They've split the surface property but jointly own the mineral rights. Two want to lease to the uranium corporation and two don't. The ones that want to lease threaten to sue their siblings if they don't allow the lease! Children doing their best to stop the patriarch of the family from leasing for uranium mining! Divide and conquer! Kind of reminds me of Bill West telling the people of Dewitt County if they oppose the Lower Guadalupe Water Supply Project that GBRA would consider reviving the Cuero 1&2 and Sandies Reservoir Project! No! I'm not going to shut up about these people who come in here to divide and destroy! Jesus said, "Love thy neighbor as thyself!" "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!" "...the love of money is the root of all evil!" In that context let's think for a moment about why UEC, the uranium corporation operating in Goliad County made a special effort to contact absentee, non-resident landowners for leases of their property! I can only wonder at what went through the heads and hearts of the owners of Four Oaks Ranch in northeastern Goliad County! Did they stop to think what might happen to their neighbors if uranium mining were conducted on their property? Did they bother to ask what has happened elsewhere in Texas when uranium operations were conducted there? Or did they just thank their lucky stars and cash the check? Wanna know what this Goliad uranium thing is all about? Enter "Goliad Project" on the Google search engine and start at the top of the page! Read the presentation the UEC CEO made to the Wall Street crowd! See if his numbers add up! See if he really knows what he's even talking about! Read the whole thing and then the comments and questions! Now see what has happened elsewhere: Underground movementWESTERN ROUNDUP - October 1, 2007
Robin Davis on the northern Colorado property she and her husband bought with a plan to board horses and open a riding school. Now the couple worries that uranium mining will cover their land with wells and pipelines and contaminate their water. KEVIN MOLONEY In northern Colorado, newcomers to the area lead the charge against planned uranium miningUpdated Sept. 28, 2007 NUNN, COLORADO Early last year, Robin and Jay Davis bought 80 acres of rolling prairie in north-central Colorado. As is often the case in Western states, the "split estate" property included only the surface rights, not the rights to any minerals that might lie beneath the land. So before they signed the deal, the couple carefully researched potential mineral development. "We looked into oil, gas and coal," Robin Davis says. "Even diamonds." Deciding that the risk was negligible, they bought the land, planning to board horses and open a riding school. Then, last fall, a Canadian-owned energy company informed the Davises and their neighbors that it wanted to extract not coal or natural gas, but uranium from beneath their property. "When we got a letter about it, we thought it was a joke," Robin Davis says. "Uranium mining? Here? Yeah, right." But Powertech (USA) Inc. is serious. The company recently bought 5,760 acres of mineral rights near the high-tech mecca of Fort Collins. Powertech hopes to extract about 8 million pounds of uranium, worth nearly $700 million at current market prices, mostly through in-situ recovery, which involves injecting a solution underground to dissolve uranium. In-situ uranium projects are on tap for other places in the West as well, including New Mexico, and Powertech is exploring for uranium in South Dakota and Wyoming. But in many ways, Powertech’s Colorado proposal is different. The West’s uranium mining has historically taken place in sparsely settled deserts, not near booming urban centers. Affected residents have been mostly poor and rural, and opposition has often been slow to develop. About 300,000 people live within 30 miles of Powertech’s proposed operations; Weld County, in which the project is located, is one of the 50 fastest-growing counties in the nation. Universities and computer companies in Fort Collins and nearby Greeley have attracted well-educated academics and scientists, some of whom own homes and land near the project site, and they’ve organized a robust grassroots resistance. Their biggest fear? Contamination of the area’s groundwater. Powertech plans to drill deep into an aquifer that supplies local homes and farms. In-situ processing, say critics, could do more than just ravage the surface of the land: It could permanently taint groundwater with heavy metals and radioactivity. "We can live without a lot of things," says Robin Davis, "but water is not one of them." The countryside around Powertech’s planned operation is mostly shortgrass prairie, dotted with sagebrush and golden blooms of rabbitbrush. Swainson’s hawks soar overhead; meadowlarks and red-winged blackbirds perch on fenceposts. A few old farmhouses stand amid corn and wheat fields, but most of the homes are new, tidy and moderately sized, on 40- to 80-acre plots. The occasional fencerow, house or pickup sports a bright yellow sign with a black radiation symbol and the words "No Uranium Mining in Colorado. www.nunnglow.com." (The closest town is the farming hamlet of Nunn, whose water tower displays the slogan "Watch Nunn Grow." Opponents have suggested changing the last word to "Glow.") Powertech’s project would be the first use of in-situ extraction techniques in Colorado, beyond a few tests in the 1970s, and the state is scrambling to get up to speed before Powertech submits permit applications in late 2008. Harry Anthony knows his corporation will make a mess and he's counting on you and I, the taxpayer, to clean it up! What use or value has land without drinkable water? Will the county appraisal district go down on the property taxes of land that has been rendered useless by uranium mining? Email Kathryn Nelson at TCEQ and tell her you oppose the approval of permit # UR3075! There is no evidence available that this can be done safely! knelson@tceq.state.tx.us My mother's mother was Ola Pearl Haywood! She had 11 children and made a good home for Walker Hayood, my grandfather all her married life. She got up at the crack of dawn every morning and made fresh buttermilk biscuits, eggs and salt bacon for my grandfather. Those biscuits were a wonder! Her red velvet cake wasn't any laughing matter either! My father's mother was Velva Dowe Schustereit, and she got up every morning and cooked my grandfather, Edwin H. Schustereit, breakfast. I remember the pan fried toast she cut in strips. She used Dairy Farm Bread she sold in her health food store on the corner of Wheeler and Commercial Streets. I miss that freshly smoked turkey she'd bake at Thanksgiving! Man that was good stuff! She never ceased to make the comment that I had slimmed down no mater how much bigger I got! Well, that's what grandmothers do! I sure do miss them! So, Mr. Anthony, perhaps prior to your next public speaking engagement where you make promises you are absolutely never going to be able to keep, you could explain just how much money UEC has spent on it's quest for uranium and how many pounds of uranium UEC has mined! Then perhaps you might explain why the stock exchange refused to list your corporation's stock and what disclosures you had to change. Let's see, who was your last employer? What happened in Kleberg County? That would be a good idea! He should drink the water he pollutes! That goes for RailRoad Commission officials and TCEQ bureaucrats who've allowed people like Anthony to preside over one mess after another! How could one failed uranium mining operation after another around the state be approved by RRC and TCEQ? This is nationwide! Follow please: Scientists Back Navajos' Uranium Mining Fight Tribe fears contamination of drinking water BRENDA NORRELL / Indian Country Today 15mar04 RED ROCK, N.M. - Navajos fighting proposed uranium mining in an area once devastated by a radioactive spill, were bolstered by scientists who criticized the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for approving new uranium mining that could result in the contamination of drinking water for 15,000 Navajos and ultimately lead to kidney failure. "I’ve never seen such poor science, poor accountability and poor traceability," said Mike Wallace, a groundwater hydrologist who has worked in the nuclear industry at WIPP in New Mexico and the Yucca Mountain site in Nevada. Speaking to Navajos gathered at Red Rock State Park, Wallace said the final environmental impact statement for the uranium mining proposed by Hydro Resources, Inc., for Crownpoint and Church Rock, is flawed. Referring to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s approval of a license, now being challenged by interveners, Wallace said, "They are not taking this area or these people’s concerns seriously." Mitchell Capitan, Navajo cofounder of the grassroots group Eastern Navajo Against Uranium Mining (ENDAUM) told the gathering, "They think in-situ mining will be done easily without contamination or accidents, but that is not the case." Speaking in Diné and English, Capitan said, "There’s always going to be accidents. Our water is more sacred and our water is clean; they want to dirty the water in our communities." Richard Abitz, geo-chemist and environmental scientist, urged Navajos to stop the legacy of uranium mining now. "There is a gross misrepresentation of the geological structure in the final environmental impact statement." Abitz joined Wallace in questioning why the proposed uranium mining is still being considered. "We are trying to figure out why it is done differently here than in the rest of the world." "Navajos are considered expendable" Norman Patrick Brown, Navajo and spokesperson for a coalition of grassroots groups Diné Bidziil, said it is obvious why HRI is being allowed to proceed with the plan. "Navajos are considered expendable," Brown said. Wallace added that politics are at work. "There might be a lot of political pressure from the uranium industry." 'They think in-situ mining will be done easily without contamination or accidents, but that is not the case.' Capitan and his wife Rita Capitan founded ENDAUM 10 years ago. Since that time, the grassroots Navajo group has had to raise nearly $1 million to fight HRI in court. The grassroots Navajo group Concerned Citizens of T’iistsooz-Nideeshgizh joined ENDAUM’s effort in 2001. Capitan told the gathering that HRI was invited to the meeting to debate the proposed mining, but declined the invitation and said they would not attend. "They were told one month in advance and invited to make a presentation," Capitan said. HRI of Rio Rancho proposes to mine in four areas near Crownpoint and Church Rock. The uranium would be removed by in-situ leach (ISL) mining, a process of injecting chemicals into the ground that would strip the uranium from the host rock of sandstone in the aquifer. "This is a no-brainer" Wallace said when he saw the proposal data, he believed that there was no way it would be approved, based on the scientific fact that there are water channels in the rock which could carry the toxic radioactive slush into Navajo drinking wells. "This is a no-brainer," Wallace told himself. "There is no way they are going to permit a mine here." Wallace said HRI’s model is flawed and is not credible. HRI claims the water is homogenous in the area, but it is not and instead flows through channels. The chemicals act like a paint stripper and strip the uranium deposits off the rock. The uranium-contaminated groundwater is then pumped to the surface for processing. Wallace predicted that nearby drinking wells of the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority and BIA will be contaminated. "In five years time, the uranium contaminated water would reach the NTUA well. In 10 years, it would reach the BIA well. "It is enough to cause renal damage. "These wells are the sole source of drinking water for thousands of people that live in the area." Abitz said in-situ leaching uses a hydrogen peroxide mixture to strip the uranium from the rock, which kills tissue and destroys cells in human and animal life. The addition of oxygen and sodium bicarbonate called oxygenates causes uranium and other radioactive substances and trace metals to be liberated from the rock into the groundwater. Further, he warned that it would be HRI who would be responsible for monitoring the wells and taking action if there is an accident, spill or emergency. Urging a halt to the proposal, Abitz said, "Water is needed for life, uranium is not needed for life. We can get by without uranium, we can not get by without water." Abitz said judges have too often taken the stance that they are judges who know nothing of the mining industry and accept the data of corporations, claiming the corporations are in the know. "It is a fallacy," said Abitz, who manages restoration of uranium-contaminated groundwater at the government’s Fernald uranium plant near Cincinnati, Ohio. Abitz said the water taken from the extremely pristine Westwater Canyon Aquifer near Crownpoint for uranium mining and used for flushing out chemicals would not be replaced in our lifetimes. Currently, the pristine water meets the high standard of the World Health Organization. The clean water standard is 0.002 mg of uranium contamination per liter. Abitz pointed out that when the toxic chemicals of mining are injected into the groundwater, the amount of uranium contamination "goes through the roof." Further, the chemicals injected create a "toxic soup" which destroys the natural balance. "Once it is in there, the damage is done. "It takes hundreds, perhaps thousands of years, to transform aquifer water back into a drinkable condition. Abitz agreed with Wallace that there is no doubt that the contamination will reach Navajo water supplies. "It will make its way into the Crownpoint water supply." Abitz said in-situ leach mining has been done in Texas and Wyoming, away from drinking water sources. But in those areas, regardless of the millions of dollars and years of efforts, the water has never been restored. "They have not been able to do it." Sad if mining is not halted Abitz said if the mining is not halted, a sad chapter would play out again for Navajos, with the mining company leaving and possibly declaring bankruptcy as others have done to prevent paying for damages. "They won’t be able to restore the groundwater. They’ll take a shot at it, they’ll say they’ve pumped so much water through it; and then they’ll say see you later." Abitz used black dye, a sponge and clean water to demonstrate how poisons remain in the water, regardless of clean water being poured or flushed through nine times. "You would not see the chemicals in there, but they would be poisoning you. The toxic chemicals will not go away." Abitz said the number of Navajos already suffering from diabetes, which also affects kidney functions, compounds the risk of renal failure. "Uranium is toxic to the kidneys, it slows down kidney function." 'You would not see the chemicals in there, but they would be poisoning you. The toxic chemicals will not go away.' Diné translators Capitan, Esther Yazzie and Lillie Lane translated complex science into the Diné language during the gathering, which included a lunch of posole, mutton stew, spring greens, fry bread and brownies. What was not on the menu was anyone who could make excuses for the government sending Navajo miners to their death as they mined uranium without protective clothing during the Cold War or for the deadly radioactive spill in nearby Church Rock. On July 16, 1979, the uranium tailings dam failure at the United Nuclear Corporation uranium mill released 94 million gallons of acidic wastewater and 1,100 tons of radioactive tailing into the North Fork of the Puerco River. It has since flowed downstream through Navajo communities, including Nahata Dziil (New Lands), where Navajos were relocated from Black Mesa to make way for Peabody Coal’s mining operations. Wallace said what is going on with HRI’s approval should be questioned. Earlier, world-respected water hydrologist Shlomo Neuman said in 1998 that the data in the final environmental impact statement is flawed. After that, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission released a statement, which claimed Neuman had changed his mind. However, Neuman again spoke up and wrote a statement saying that he has not changed his mind and confirmed the data is flawed. Wallace said of the attempt to distort Neuman’s words, "There are very suspicious things going on here." Mitchell Capitan said when ENDAUM formed 10 years ago, Navajos had no idea they would be fighting HRI for a decade.

How many more people's lives will these traveling medicine shows destroy! Hucksters getting up in front of a crowd promising what they never intend to deliver! You wouldn't buy a used car from these people but 328 people in Victoria believe the lie that uranium mining will be an economic benefit! That's that spirit of greed that hovers over Victoria! I challenge you willfully ignorant folks to drive due west from Myersville and drive just past Texas Hwy 181 and see what uranium mining has done to parts of Wilson and Karnes Counties. See the abandoned, huge piles of uranium tailings blowing in the wind! Some covered with riprap and partially mitigated by the SuperFund, some just abandoned, waiting for taxpayers to clean them up too! So in Victoria 328 people voted for toxic plumes of pollution in our aquifer instead of the plumes of uranium dust to the west! Smooth move! Don't you get it yet? After all the information available to you from all over the country, you can't see that once these people get what they want they just move on under another corporate name? Jesus said to, "Love thy neighbor as thy self!" Thinking that uranium mining will benefit us is definately not in that spirit! — Richard Abitz Geo-chemist and environmental scientist— Mitchell Capitan Eastern Navajo Against Uranium MiningBy this time I can only be amused at the willfull ignorance of those answering the Advocate poll in favor of uranium mining in Goliad! What these silly people don't know is that people in Victoria County have already been approached about leasing to UEC and that a good portion of that 5.2 million pounds of uranium is under Victoria County. Let's see! 5.2 million pounds multiplied by $70 comes to just over...yup...$350 million dollars! I can see those greedy green demons slithering around salivating at the thought of that much money! Mmmm! Economic development! Mmmm! Taxes on that much money filling local coffers! Mmmm! And when the uranium is gone and the aquifer is destroyed? The groundwater undrinkable? Coleto Creek polluted? Coleto reservoir un-swimmable? The Coleto watershed contaminated? Springs feeding the creek polluted? Those of you who feel the need for greed, what then? Will UEC really clean up their mess or will they even have the money for that? Let's see now, let's look at some public information here: Do you know any of this info on Uranium Mining Corp?
1. Uranium Energy Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada
on May 16, 2003 under the name "Carlin Gold Inc." During 2004, we changed our business operations and focus from precious metals exploration in the State of Nevada to the exploration for economic reserves of uranium throughout the United States. Therefore, on January 24, 2005, we filed an amendment to our articles of incorporation changing our name to "Uranium Energy Corp." From Annual Report URANIUM ENERGY CORP - For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005
2. The Company commenced operations on May 16, 2003 and has not realized any significant revenues since inception. As at March 31, 2007, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $21,740,939. The Company is in the exploration stage of its mineral property development and to date has not yet established any proven mineral reserves on its existing properties. The continued operations of the Company and the recoverability of the carrying value of its assets is ultimately dependent upon the ability of the Company to achieve profitable operations. The Company intends to continue to fund its operations by way of private placements of equity as may be required. To date, the Company has completed private placements and received funding through the exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants for total proceeds of $23,473,487 from the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock. From 1st Quarter Report URANIUM ENERGY CORP - Period Ending 31 March 2007.
3. They claim to be a US owned company but most of their company officers have been educated
in Canada and their President/CEO Admir Adnani is located in their "Administrative Office" in
Vancouver, BC Canada. Don't most CEO's belong in the Corporate Office which is shown to be in
Austin??
Source Uranium Energy Corp Website http://www.uraniumenergy.co...
This WEB site pretty much says it all (notice that Corporate Office is shown to be in Vancouver, BC not
Austin, TX like Uranium Energy Corp Website shows?) Note the largest shareholders are not from the US.
Bottom line is that the Company that wants to do uranium mining in Goliad County is a Canadian Company
Incorporated in Nevada. They have no track record of success in accomplishing anything but loosing money
(I'm sure not the board member or CEO's). They don't have any assets. They also don't appear to have ANY
real experience in mining uranium.
Are these the people over 300 people in Victoria have placed their trust in? Will Harry Anthony stay around and supervise the clean-up that'll last for years or will he be down the road to make another mess like last time? 213 people have now demonstrated either their desire to be blissfully ignorant about the dismal record of uranium mining or their total disregard for both the property rights and property values of the residents of northwest Victoria County! Shall we visit with those who know what uranium mining is like first hand? From: Donna Hinnant angeoma@hotmail.com

To: Sonny Long Subject: For Sonny Long-Uranium mining Hello Mr. Long.
I was reading the Vic Adv online & read the article on the uranium test drilling in Goliad Co. I worked for the US Steel Corp back in the 80's, when they were heavy into "Yellow cake"mining.
Live Oak County has a lot of people that could give Goliad info on what they are about to have rain down upon them!
What got my attention was the fact that there is already "RED ALGE" in the water table!! That stuff would burn up a 20hsp pump!
IT NEEDS NO SUNLIGHT.
THIS STUFF WILL SPREAD IN THE AQUIFER!
THIS STUFF CAN'T BE KILLED!! (It laughs @ bleach! I know 1st hand.)
IT MUST BE CONTAINED IN THE AREA!
MONITOR WELLS ARE STILL BEING PUMPED TO CONTAIN IT TO CERTAIN AREAS YEARS AFTER THE OP WAS CLOSED.
Richer ores were found in Australia, so most of Uranium mineing was closed out in Texas. Some I know were prepared but never mined.
It's in our water table sands in a swath across Texas. It's only300' to 400' average down! This County is full of it!
So I don't see why it would even be profitable now; the cleanup is astronomical!
If US Steel Corp got out of it---just think if a small Corp went bankrupt?
They would NOT BE ABLE TO DO THE CLEANUP!! US Steel followed through.
Also cattle were not allowed to graze any of that land nor bale on any.
The ground was concidered cantaminated where it was procesed unless it going to be strip mined; then you have air borne contaminates. The list goes on & on & on!!
Email me back if you want to know more. I would like to talk to the County Agent so he will have info @ another meeting.
Thanks for your input on the scurge that's about to hit them.

Shall we wish disaster on our neighbors for the economic benefit of the very few? Is that what the people of Victoria are all about? Are we as sick and depraved as those who have left one mess after another across the state? Can you believe there were 164 people in this area ignorant enough to answer the Advocate poll and believe there is an economic benefit to uranium mining in Goliad? Do you people know how to read? Are you not aware, as anyone who can read should be, that uranium exploration and mining companies have a consistant habit(extend that to POLICY) of making dangerous environmental messes and then filing bankruptcy and going down the road to make another mess under another name? Ask the man in charge of the Goliad operation what happened to last company he worked for? Ask him if he's welcome in that county? Ask him why he called his old retired buddy from the RailRoad Commission and asked him to come get these Goliad people off his back! Do you people believe bank deposits equal economic benefit when people's property rights and values are destroyed? How much taxes can you get out of a wasteland? Go to Google or Ask.com and look up uranium mining and count all the incredible disasters these predators have caused! Of what value is land if the groundwater is not fit for consumption? Do you think this only concerns Goliad County? Wake up people! This project is in the watershed of Coleto Creek? Did you know that Victoria County residents have already been approached to lease their land to this foreign owned corporation? A good portion of Coleto Creek south of HWY 59 has already been destroyed by sewer effluent, you want these sociopaths to finish the job? Anyone who can seriously consider in situ leach mining operations in that watershed, considering all the mountains of evidence against that type of mining, is either ignorant of the cost to private property or has serious sociopathic tendencies? I've dealt with these type of sick individuals before serving on the Citizens Forum for the Lower Guadalupe Water Supply Project. Look you in the face smiling and lie through their teeth! You catch them in a lie and prove them wrong and they smile and tell the same lie to the next crowd! Ask yourself what local former political aide is now a consultant/lobbyist for these people! Drive down to Kleberg County and ask around! See what happened to the groundwater down there! New York City is observing a Muslim celebration! Are these people nuts? Who's in charge of that nuthouse! Islam teaches that if the infidel does not convert it's OK to kill him! What a religion! After 9/11 some school teachers insisted that their classes declare a jihad and write about who they declared it against! And now I see that NYC has finally cracked down on the real criminals! The parents of a five year old child will be fined for allowing her to write on the steps of their home with sidewalk chalk! Once again! Who's in charge of that nuthouse? I'm glad we invaded Iraq! I'm glad we freed the Shiites from many years of Sunni oppression. I'm glad Saddam was caught! I'm glad he was executed! I'm glad the Butcher of Bagdad is dead! I hope it hurt! This insane meglamaniac tried to portrey himself as the Islamic Messiah and if not stopped would have expanded his reign to the entire Arabian Peninsula! We can't have that! Lord knows we need the oil so Al Gore can jet across the country picking up all his awards and, and so he'll be forced to buy up more carbon credits! However, the prosecution of this war, almost from day one has been one obvious mistake after another! Of all the bumbling incompetance! The borders with Iraq were not closed. Those most familiar with the running of what infrastructure there was were fired and those jobs given to American contractors who had no local experience. Not enough troops on the ground up front to do the job properly. Insane! The media was given too much freedom and misused that freedom on a regular basis! Soldiers were under strange, and I believe illegal, constraints on one hand and others were inexperienced reservists who were not properly monitored and supervised! Soldiers were not put in the field with adequate or proper equipment and had to ask family members to purchase it for them. This was a serious shame to the readiness of our armed forces! And now we read that this war has left our own law enforcement officers dreadfully low on ammunition! I do have one question: where are all the peace-at-any-cost creeps who wanted to go to Iraq and act as human shields? Where is Martin Sheen when a good Muslim Shiite needs someone to take a bullet for him? Oh yeah, I forgot! There were too many innocent Iraqi women and children snatched and used for that purpose! Yes, those fiercely brave Islamic terrorists had no problem using the innocent population to hide in and around! Kind of like the Viet Cong in a land far away! America! Mr. Bush! Get this through your seemingly uncomprehending head! Arab culture has no room for democracy! Columbus couldn't beat Christianity into Native Americans and you can't beat democracy into an unwilling Arab! Our military, right now, is woefully underequipped and undermanned and MR. BUSH our own borders are STILL open to any criminal or terrorist who wants a swim and a long walk! Can you please, PLEASE, Mr. President, exercize just a little common sense for a change? Sir, in the armchair running of this war you didn't just drop the BALL... (Everyone please open the Forklift picture file!) Ok! There it is! I have offended the Hollywood peace creeps, the democrats, the republicans, Bush fans, Al Gore fans and more than a few ingrate Muslim Shiites! Have I left anyone out? I'm doing my best to be my usual culturally and politically incorrect self! If I've left anyone out please post and let me know! After almost 25 years of writing letters to the editor every month this is a new experience for me. Kind of strange! |
