Biden to Establish National Monument in Grand Canyon to Protect from Uranium Mining

President Biden plans to establish a new national monument covering 1.1 million acres of the Grand Canyon.
The monument aims to protect the area from potential uranium mining, which could contaminate water supplies.
The designation has support from local Native American tribes as well as environmental groups.
Biden will formally announce the new monument during an upcoming visit to Arizona.
The monument will be named using designations from the Havasupai and Hopi tribes.
