Please accept these public comments from 43,698 online members and activists on behalf on the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) regarding EPA-HQ-OAR-2012-0788 in support of a strong uranium mining rule. A strong rule would protect groundwater in scarce western aquifers from contamination caused by in-situ leach uranium mining. It is vital to protect the lives and health of communities across the West and for these reasons we urge you to strengthen and finalize this the "re-purposed" uranium mining rule. Thank you.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to add new health and environmental protection standards to regulations promulgated under the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA). The Act regulates the extraction and management of uranium byproduct materials produced by uranium recovery. The proposed standards will regulate residual radioactivity and uranium byproduct materials produced by in-situ uranium recovery, including both surface and subsurface standards, with primary focus on ground water protection and restoration.
