Orrin Hatch today called on the Senate to provide the funding needed to move the (R-Uta- h) radioactive mill tailings pile currently sitting on the bank of the Colorado River across from Moab, Utah. A decade of studying and talking about this issues has not moved the pile on inch, Hatch said. Its time to move beyond talk and get this done. In a letter sent to Senator Domencici Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water, Hatch asked for $56 million for ht project, but Hatch noted this esti Pete mate was based on capping the tailings in place. : Now that DOE has decided the removal of the tailings is the best altema- tive. Hatch is requesting that the budget be enhanced by additional $28 million to fully fund remediation for Fiscal Year 2006 DOE finally recognized the need to move the pile, Hatch said. Now Congress needs to ensure they have the money to do it. While it wont be easy to come up with funding this year, I hope my colleagues will recognize the importance of moving this pile now that the DOE has called for this action. ; i i j i j j : usiness Directory place your advertising , call To or 250-56- 5 to magwestxmission.com e-m- ail AXIOM Over 33 years In business... roots, roots Wind Damage Call Specialists Construction tic.
