Part of a series on the ban on uranium mining in Virginia.
Lightly on the Ground Radio for 9-28-2011 (high noon on WRIR lp 97.3 FM and WRIR.ORG)
Listen to stories of how uranium mining would change the land, economy, and the well being of those who live near the potential site of Virginia’s first mine. Three natives, all businessmen who grew up in the area tell the stories of the towns, farms and businesses surrounding Chatham, Virginia.
This program is part of a series on the possibility of lifting the 30 year ban imposed by the General Assembly in 1982. One landowner has plans to open his acreage to uranium mining in partnership with a company in Canada. Here is a picture of a typical open pit mine in France.
