International Uranium should be required to notify the State and the public of its amendment requests before its requests so that the public and the state have sufficient time to analyze all of the possible impacts. Environmental studies should be demanded on each amendment request. The company should report its mill activities to the Utah Radiation Control Board, to the Ute and Navajo Indian Tribal Councils and to the remainder of the public on a regular basis.

This would include public health costs. No additional toxic and radiological materials should be accepted at the White Mesa mill until all of the proper environmental and health studies have been accomplished. Accordingly, the Glen Canyon Group of the Sierra Club recently called for these studies. These studies will assuredly keep these ee. wastes out in the future.

For many years we have been exposed to high levels of radiation in its many forms. Evidence may be mounting that cancer rates are on the increase in our region. With increasing radiation exposure, will cancer rates continue to rise? We surely need to look at cumulative impacts of radiation. We need epidemiological and toxicological studies that point to significant adverse health conditions. Meanwhile, the State, through the Attorney General's Office, should actively pursue resolution of issues through NRC administrative processes. This would include verification sampling at the White Mesa mill and the White Mesa Ute reservation. All components of the waste material should be known and listed. Furthermore, the Utah Radiation Control Buck's Grill, we want to wish all of you Buckaroos a heart-felt holiday and a, a hopeful New Year in 2001. wy The White Mesa drinking water is suspect and has not been monitored on a regular schedule.

The company believes that there is no probable cause that its pollutants will affect waters of the State and that federal law doesn't require it. If this is not done voluntarily, the State must pursue immediate legal action to obtain and process a state ground water discharge permit for the White Mesa mill.
