EPA says Ariz. uranium mine operating illegally (near Grand Canyon)

LAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says a uranium mine north of the Grand Canyon is operating in violation of the law and its owner could face thousands of dollars in fines.

The EPA contends Denison Mines Corp. failed to apply for and obtain federal approval for its Arizona 1 Mine, about 20 miles from the Grand Canyon's northern border.

Denison President Ron Hochstein says he was surprised by the notice and is working with the EPA to address the issues raised.
