What is the projected impact on agricultural lands in areas near the project site?
Pittsylvania County, and the Coles Hill site in particular, has a long agricultural history. The project mine site is on land that the Coles and Bowen families have lived on for many generations (some as far back as the 1780s). The current residents of Coles Hill plan to continue living there while mining operations are underway. They will continue to grow crops nearby and their cattle will continue grazing there. Programs to safeguard the environmental well-being of agricultural lands will be put in place and monitored by state and federal officials, Virginia Uranium, and independent experts.
