We've heard from one of the attendees of the Gretna Town Council meeting last night who says that there were approximately 18 attendees in addition to the Council. Jack Dunavant gave the Council a brief history of SCC and also explained SCC's stance against uranium mining at Coles Hill giving facts about the realities and dangers of the proposed mining. Apparently Jack's presentation was very well-received.
The Council members were cordial and asked many questions about the duration of the proposed mining, the size of the operation, health risks secondary to long-term, low-level radiation exposure, rivers at risk for contamination, the dangers of tailings, etc.
The council also asked for a copy of the Halifax chemical trespass ordinance for reference and further consideration. We hope that's a sign of good things to come from the Council!
Any other reports? Comments?
A huge THANKS to all that turned out for the meeting, to the attendee who provided this information, and to Smidgen who let us borrow her account!
