ENVIRO GROUPS FIGHTING TO BLOCK TROUBLED GREEN RIVER NUKE PROJECT TO MAKE MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT WEDNESDAY
PRESS CONFERENCE AT 12:30 PM IN FRONT OF MATHESON COURTHOUSE DOWNTOWN
Representatives from HEAL Utah, Uranium Watch and Living Rivers – the three principal groups who have fought the proposed Green River nuclear reactors – will make a major announcement on Wednesday at 12:30 pm in front of the Matheson courthouse in downtown Salt Lake City.
The three groups have been fighting the proposed nuclear project, the idea of former Rep. Aaron Tilton and his company Blue Castle Holdings, since it was first announced in 2007. Most notably, they have challenged the transfer of a massive amount of Green River water to Blue Castle, first in a District Court trial in 2013 then at a Court of Appels hearing earlier this year. Several weeks ago, the Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Blue Castle, upholding their lease of water from two southern Utah water districts.
What? Green River Nuclear Announcement
When? Wednesday, August 10, 12:30 pm
Where? 450 State St, Salt Lake City, UT 84111
