Residents spoke Monday night at a Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality hearing for expansion of a uranium mine north of Crawford.  The hearing was for the “exemption” step of the application process for the North Trend expansion of the Crow Butte Resources mine, owned by Cameco Resources. An exemption means that the portion of the Chadron Aquifer specified in the application is declared permanently off-limits for use as a drinking water source.
