From The Greeley Tribune:

The…hearing, April 15, will be in Loveland. Other meetings are scheduled for May 13 in Grand Junction, May 26 in Salida and June 10 in Denver.

The rulemaking is being conducted primarily to implement three bills passed by the Colorado General Assembly in 2008, one of which concerns reclamation standards to in-situ uranium mining, which is being proposed for an area in northern Weld County. The rules and amendments have been proposed by the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. The board may accept, reject or modify any or all of those proposals.

The Loveland meeting will be from 1-9 p.m. May 15 at the Embassy Suites Hotel, 4705 Clydesdale Parkway. A live, listen-only feed will be available at http://mining,state.co.us/Rulemaking.htm. There also is a draft of the proposed rules at that site.
