Potential Zoning and Construction: Sweetwater Uranium ISR Project

Sweetwater Uranium, Inc. plans to develop and operate an In-Situ Recovery (ISR) uranium mine co-located with an existing conventional mine, utilizing the Sweetwater Mill. The project will add 484 acres of public land, including 436 mining claims, to the existing mine location. The Coalition of Local Governments' comments note that a zoning permit from Sweetwater County may be required for the expanded mining boundary, as the current use is agricultural. A zone map amendment may be needed to allow in situ mining and construction of ancillary structures. This indicates a likely future need for consulting, permitting, environmental assessment, and construction services related to mining infrastructure.
