Five Year Action Plan to Cleanup the Uranium Contamination in the Navajo Nation

Five Year Action Plan to Cleanup the Uranium Contamination in the Navajo Nation, as requested by House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, March 3, 2008

  • “Mine operators extracted nearly four million tons of uranium ore from 1944 to 1986 under lease agreements with the Navajo Nation. As a result, uranium mining has left the Navajo Nation with a legacy of over 500 abandoned uranium mines (AUMs), four inactive uranium milling sites, a former dump site, contaminated groundwater, structures that may contain elevated levels of radiation, and environmental and public health concerns.”
