A Shockingly Dangerous Number?

Ok, this spill is significant, 9,000 gallons of water contaminated with uranium.  The legal maximum concentration is 30 ug/l and this stuff was at over 800 ug/l.

Is that really shockingly dangerous?

If one doesn't drink the water, and the uranium is returned to the ground from whence it came...does that qualify as shockingly dangerous?  Or is it fear-mongering?
