The Federal Land Policy and Management Act (Summer Conference, June 6-8)

Conference organizers and/or faculty included University of Colorado School of Law professors James N. Corbridge, Lawrence J. MacDonnell, David H. Getches and Charles F. Wilkinson.

This important piece of legislation, passed by Congress in 1976 following many years of extensive study and debate, directs the activities of the nation's major land manager--the Bureau of Land Management. The FLPMA conference will bring together a distinguished group of experts to review the law itself, to consider the effectiveness with which it has been implemented, and to discuss the key issues which have arisen under its implementation.

Unfinished Business: The Regulation Of Uranium Mining And Milling, Elizabeth V. Scott

University of Richmond Law Review

In July of 1982, the Marline Uranium Corporation announced the discovery of a major deposit of commercially minable uranium in southside Virginia, the first major find east of the Mississippi River. Marline and the Union Carbide Corporation are planning a $200 million mining and milling complex to develop the deposit. The operation is projected to create 900 new jobs and bring $4.3 million in yearly tax revenues to Virginia and to Pittsylvania County.
