Pierre, SD, USA / DRGNews May 24, 2021 | 6:00 AM With dry conditions throughout South Dakota, farmers and ranchers will soon start applying irrigation water to their crops. The South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources reminds irrigators to regularly check irrigation equipment to prevent overspray. “It is important irrigators do everything they can to avoid overspraying,” said DANR Secretary Hunter Roberts. “Irrigation overspray can damage roadways, lead to unsafe driving conditions, and impact neighbors.” A water right holder is not allowed to waste water or operate an irrigation system in violation of state water law, which includes spraying water on land not covered by the water permit. Irrigation systems and especially end guns must be monitored to ensure they are not applying water where it is not allowed. Irrigators who fail to prevent overspray can be subject to fines or required to appear before the Water Management Board for poss ....
KNBN NewsCenter1 May 5, 2021 PIERRE, S.D. Uranium mining has been the big topic of discussion in Pierre recently. The Water Management Board (WMB) discussed permits for Powertech Azarga, a company that wants to mine uranium in Custer and Fall River counties. During the meeting, both the company and the Black Hills Clean Water Alliance gave status reviews. Powertech right now has three of the seven permits it needs, but those are either under appeal or tied up in a lawsuit. Wednesdays session of the WMB gave the company and opponents a chance to make their case. “It’s radioactive and toxic, and it has to be done directly in a ground water aquifer,” said alliance member Dr. Lilias Jarding. “So, wherever that aquifer moves, there is the potential for the waste water, the contaminated water from the mine to move that direction also.” ....
1:24 The company behind a long-lingering uranium mine proposal wants to start the state permitting process, but opponents say state hearings are premature until legal fights over federal approval are complete. A Canadian company, Azarga Uranium, and its South Dakota subsidiary, Powertech, want to mine in the remote Dewey-Burdock area of the southwestern Black Hills near Edgemont. The uranium would go to nuclear power plants. The proposal has been under review for more than a decade by various federal agencies. Powertech has permits from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and EPA and is seeking a permit from the Bureau of Land Management. ....
A Canadian company would like to mine uranium in southwest South Dakota and is seeking appropriate permits from the state. While that process is necessary, we believe the project should be rejected just based on common environmental sense. Powertech Industries Inc., a subsidiary of Azarga Uranium based in British Columbia, Canada, would use a mining process known as In-situ leaching that would use vast amounts of groundwater to dissolve uranium, then bring it to the surface. When we say vast amounts, we re serious. The plan is to use about 9,000 gallons per minute of water. For reference, the entire city of Rapid City uses around 6,500 gallons of water per minute. The water would come from two aquifers used to provide drinking water to towns in Fall River and Custer counties, including Hot Springs. ....
