Friedman, F B

Regulation of the environmental impacts of uranium mining and milling is becoming increasingly more stringent. The major environmental legal issues relating to uranium mining and milling are discussed. Environmental problems associated with in situ mining are also considered. Areas examined are: federal jurisdiction over uranium mining and milling; state jurisdiction over uranium mining and milling; the impact of the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 on in situ uranium leach mining; claims and leases in public, aquired, and American Indian lands; and other regulatory problems associated with the impact of mining on air and solid waste management.
