Background: The Rocky Mountain Greenway is a proposed mountain bike trail that would be built through contaminated land adjacent to the former nuclear weapons plant, Rocky Flats, 16 miles North West of Denver. If built, this trail would endanger public health by exposing trail workers and the public to respirable particles of plutonium dioxide and other contaminants left in the environment from nuclear bomb production at Rocky Flats. Please send a statement to USFWS opposing this irresponsible and immoral project. Link to the July 2020 USFWS Environmental Assessment.
