I. Proposal to Exempt a Portion of Chadron Aquifer
The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality held a public hearing regarding a proposal to exempt a portion of the Chadron Aquifer north of Crawford. This portion of the aquifer is associated with a proposed expansion area for the Crow Butte Resources (CBR) uranium mining facility.
