Comment: Flooding at Coles Hill, FEMA Flood Plains
SoVaNow.com / July 18, 2011
The Lake Gaston Association has become the latest organization to back the continuation of Virginia’s ban on uranium mining.
As a result of a vote taken and unanimously passed by a quorum of members present at the annual meeting on June 11, the LGA Board of Directors subsequently signed a resolution against lifting the mining moratorium, imposed by the Virginia General Assembly in 1982.
The LGA joins a host of other organizations and government entities in opposing lifting the ban, including the Roanoke River Basin Association and all five county governments that border Lake Gaston. Legislation is expected to be filed in the January 2012 session of the Virginia General Assembly to lift the current ban and allow mining of a uranium deposit,at Coles Hill, Va.
