Urges the President of the United States, Congress, and federal agencies to prohibit uranium mining on public lands surrounding Grand Canyon National Park.

Emphasizes the Grand Canyon's economic importance, noting 6 million annual visitors in 2016 who spent $648 million and supporting nearly 10,000 jobs.

Highlights environmental and health risks from uranium mining, including radioactive dust found near mine sites, uranium contamination in 15 springs and 5 wells, and potential impacts on water quality and quantity.

References over 500 abandoned uranium mines on the Navajo Nation that have contaminated drinking water sources and calls for EPA cleanup and water quality assurance.

Requests Congress permanently prohibit uranium extraction, the Secretary of the Interior maintain mineral withdrawal and create a national monument, and transmission of the memorial to federal officials and Arizona's congressional delegation.
