WE STAND FOR WATER!
WE STAND FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS!

OUR MISSION:

The mission of Black Hills Clean Water Alliance is to protect our valuable resources – especially water – for future generations, by preventing destructive mining in the Black Hills. The Alliance is a diverse collection of citizens concerned about the health, environmental, and economic impacts that mining projects and their contribution to the climate crisis are having on our communities, people, economy, and natural resources.

The Black Hills are unique culturally, ecologically, geologically, and economically – a tree-covered island in the midst of vast plains and the sacred center of Lakota treaty lands. They are headwaters for surface and ground water in the northern Great Plains, bringing life to communities, wildlife, ranches, landscapes, and people. It is our responsibility to protect the water that gives life.

Our organization and its allies have worked together since 2009 to prevent new uranium mining in the Black Hills. Several years ago, we decided to work to prevent new large-scale gold mining in the Hills, and most recently, we have worked to block lithium and graphite mining. Any of these projects would contaminate the limited water in our area. Join us to protect the beautiful and life-giving waters of the Black Hills region!

This is not just a local issue. Once water aquifers are contaminated by mining, they can never be restored. WATER IS LIFE.
