From The Pueblo Chieftain (Patrick Malone):

A Senate committee passed a bill Wednesday that would require the Cotter uranium mill to clean up its mess before it could take in new materials. Cotter officials had told the panel if the bill passes, it would limit the mill’s ability to mitigate existing pollution. The bill’s proponents said better mitigation steps should have been taken to date if its operators didn’t want the Legislature to step in. The committee advanced the measure with a 10-1 vote.
