75 percent of more than 10.000 abandoned Uranium mines in the US are located on federal and tribal lands

Quote from factsheet, compiled by Charmaine White Face for the Clean Up the Mines campaign:

“The Mining companies walked away from their clean up responsibilities after decades of mining, leaving the public to bear their toxic legacy. The costs for clean-up of these abandoned sites have been moved from the past uranium mining operators onto the general taxpayers, as have the public health and environmental costs of these toxic sites.”
