Uranium mining is a very hot potato in the Grand Canyon at the moment.[url]http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/search/index.html?siteurl=www.biologicaldiversity.org%2Fabout%2Fstaff%2F&sa.x=39&sa.y=34&sa=Search&cx=006464995654994533830%3Ar7roh49uarm&cof=FORID%3A11&redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.biologicaldiversity.org%2Fsearch%2Findex.html&q=uranium+mining#922[/url] />The Orphan uranium mine on Grand Canyon's south rim, abandoned in 1969, still leaches polluted water into Horn Creek.
