The Casper (Hampton O’Neill) and Denver (Rebecca Watson, Jennifer Cadena, and Joe Pierzchala) offices of Welborn successfully represented UR Energy USA Inc. in a federal challenge brought by Biodiversity Conservation Alliance under NEPA and FLPMA to the Bureau of Land Management’s authorization of the Lost Creek In-Situ Uranium Recovery Project in Sweetwater County.
