"Swayed by "your grave concerns about uranium mining operations" in the Eastern Navajo Agency in northwestern New Mexico, Navajo Nation President Kelsey Begaye and Vice President Dr. Taylor McKenzie have told community leaders that they now oppose uranium in situ leach (ISL) mining "located in or near populated areas" and conducted in "potable or potentially potable groundwater or surface water sources."
