If built, the Glade Reservoir will rain disaster upon all it touches, including surrounding communities, ratepayers, natural inhabitants, and especially the river itself. Don't let the NISP dam up one of the Poudre's precious few untouched spaces.

A Canadian company, Powertech, is planning to mine uranium just six miles northeast of Fort Collins on 6,880 acres of private land.
Both types of mining - in-situ leach (ISL) and open pit (OP) - pose serious health risks for local residents, and create drastic environmental and economic risks for Fort Collins and northern Colorado. The Larimer County Medical Society, the Colorado Medical Society, and even the City of Fort Collins passed resolutions against the mine. Elected officials from both political parties, farmers and ranchers, medical professionals, real estate agents, and environmentalists have taken a stand against the mine.
