CANON CITY, Colo. (AP) — Colorado officials say a new law may block Cotter Corp.’s plan to restart a uranium mill near Canon City.

A federal judge has hit the brakes on a nuclear renaissance, ruling that U.S. Department of Energy officials violated environmental laws when they re-launched a program to mine uranium and produce yellowcake fuel in Colorado.

DENVER — Colorado mining regulators are getting impatient over enforcement of a court order that Cotter Corp. clean up a mine leaking uranium into a creek that serves a drinking-water reservoir.

According to the Denver Post, state officials said Monday that a $1.2 million bond posted by Cotter is insufficient to clean up the Schwartzwalder mine should the company walk away. The regulators met Monday with the state attorney general's office to determine their options.

A judge has affirmed an order by regulators that the company pump out and treat uranium-tainted water at its defunct Schwartzwalder Mine in Jefferson County. Cotter did not return calls seeking comment.

Water issues continue to dog uranium mining and milling operations around the state, with regulators losing patience with one company on Colorado’s Front Range and Colorado River officials still raising objections to a proposed mill in Montrose County.
