Uranium mining remains prohibited at a proposed in situ leach (ISL) mine in the Navajo community
of Church Rock, New Mexico, until «deficiencies» in a clean -
up plan are fixed, a federal
administrative law judge ruled in February in the ongoing adjudication
of the Hydro Resources, Inc. (HRI), Crownpoint Uranium Project.
The
Administrative Law Judge with the State Board
of Workers Compensation found that the claim was compensable since picking trash
up off the floor was in furtherance
of the employee's job duties.
