A group of Fremont County homeowners has filed an appeal with the State of Colorado in hopes of overturning an Australian company’s permit to drill for uranium.
The project is located on the Hansen Deposit, which is part of Tallahassee Creek in Fremont County. The homeowners say they want to know the environmental and health impacts that come with drilling for uranium before the company begins.
The homeowners say their biggest concern is uranium seeping into the groundwater, as many in the area get their drinking water from wells. Others are also concerned about the impact on wildlife in the area.
The state appeal hearing is taking place today, Jan. 17th, in Denver.
