Arsenic Limits Raised Near Pinyon Plain Mine | Phoenix News

Arizona’s environmental agency just raised the arsenic limit in a groundwater well near the Pinyon Plain uranium mine — from 0.050 to 0.055 mg/L — sparking outrage from the Havasupai Tribe and environmentalists who say it endangers their sacred water source. While the mining company and state officials blame natural geology, the tribe insists the data is incomplete and the contamination may stem from mining. With studies still ongoing, critics demand the state prioritize public water safety — because protecting water isn’t just about policy, it’s about protecting life itself.
