Canadian mining company Cameco Resources is attempting to expand its uranium mining operation near Crawford, Nebraska, and is requesting the use of an additional 2.4 billion gallons of water per year from the High Plains aquifer. At the historic Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, a recent spate of brain seizures, cancers, miscarriages, and birth defects has been linked to previous radioactive spills. Cameco claims it has cleaned up all radioactive material that entered the water supply.
