A VICTORY for the Oglala Sioux Tribe and everyone who opposes uranium mining in the Black Hills! Powertech (now a subsidiary of enCore Energy) planned to start mining uranium in the southwestern Black Hills in 2009. Thanks to the Oglala Sioux Tribe, the BHCWA and its allies, and you — they are not mining and its 2024. And this decision means that they won’t be anytime soon.
In the Press-Release open from the Oglala Sioux Tribe they state: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) has ruled in favor of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in a case involving a proposed uranium mine in Fall River and Custer Counties, South Dakota. The EAB sent the EPA’s Underground Injection Control (UIC) permits for the proposed Powertech Dewey-Burdock uranium mine, owned by parent company enCore Energy, back to EPA Region 8 (located in Denver, CO) to reconsider the permitting decision.
