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.
