Next, we’ll explore Canyonlands National Park. You’ll get to stand 2,000 feet above the Colorado River at Dead Horse State Park for a breathtaking view of vertical cliffs. We’ll also see the stunning collection of natural sandstone formations at Arches National Park and take a sce- nic drive of the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal area to experience one of the most majestic points on earth. Finally, we’ll explore oddly-shaped monoliths, buttes and mesas of red sand- stone and stop at John Ford’s point, the location of many classic Westerns. The tour ends with wine tasting and a farewell dinner in the Moab area.

  • Monument Valley, Arizona, Processing Site COMMUNITY INFORMATION
    Monument Valley, Arizona, Processing Site COMMUNITY INFORMATION Monument Valley Site Background 1955–1968 Uranium-ore processing mill operates at the Monument Valley site, on land leased from the Navajo Nation. During milling operations, chemicals from mill-tailings piles and ponds leaked into the soil and groundwater. 1968 Mill closes and land is returned to the Navajo Nation. Mill buildings and equipment are torn down. Monument Valley, Arizona, Processing Site (1958) 1992–1994 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) cleans up materials from former milling operations. 1994 Mill tailings are shipped to a disposal cell in Mexican Hat, Utah. A cover that prevents radon gas from escaping, and reduces the amount of water that drains through the disposal cell, is constructed over the materials. 1997–Present DOE performs long-term care at the Monument Valley site. DOE Conducts Tests To Determine if Plants Can Aid in Groundwater Cleanup (2014) DOE Activities at the Monument Valley Site Site Activities DOE, in coordination with the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA), installed waterlines to the homes of Monument Valley residents and is providing a clean water supply to those residents. DOE also employs some of the residents to help watch over the site and provide support for other DOE activities. Groundwater is sampled once each year to measure its chemical levels. Several large fields of native plants are being Scientist Taking a Fourwing Saltbush Sample from grown at the site to see how they can help clean the Phytoremediation Test Plot contaminated groundwater. that are in the fertilizers used to help grow crops.

  • Fact Sheet UMTRCA Title I Monument Valley, Arizona, Processing Site
    Fact Sheet UMTRCA Title I Monument Valley, Arizona, Processing Site This fact sheet provides information about the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 Title I processing site at Monument Valley, Arizona. This site is managed by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Legacy Management. Site Description and History The Monument Valley processing site is located on the Navajo Nation in northeastern Arizona, approximately 15 miles south of Mexican Hat, Utah, on the west side of Cane Valley. A uranium ore processing mill operated at the site from 1955 to 1968 on property leased from the Navajo Nation. The mill closed in 1968, and control of the site reverted to the Navajo Nation. Most of the mill buildings were removed shortly thereafter. Uranium was first discovered in 1942 approximately 0.5 mile west of the site. From 1955 until 1964, ore at the site was processed by mechanical milling using an upgrader, which crushed the ore and separated it by grain size. The finer-grained material, which was higher in uranium content, was shipped to other mills for chemical processing. Coarser-grained material was stored on-site and later reprocessed at the site through a sulfuric acid batch leach process that was used at the mill from 1964 until 1968. The milling process also produced radioactive mill tailings, a predominantly sandy material. Source materials and other site-related contamination were removed during surface remediation at the site from Location of the Monument Valley, Arizona, Processing Site 1992 through 1994. All contaminated materials from the Monument Valley processing site were transported north Regulatory Setting (approximately 15 miles) and encapsulated in the Mexican Hat disposal cell.
