LM will use the community involvement activities outlined in this plan to ensure that community members are informed and provided opportunities to be involved. LM plans to support public awareness of the Tuba City site by: ʒ Informing the public about current and planned activities related to the site. ʒ Educating the public about site activities. ʒ Presenting information to correct misperceptions about the site. ʒ Providing public access to site information, reports, and other documents. ʒ Promoting use of the LM website as a source of information. ʒ Participating in Navajo Nation Fairs, STEM events and community events. LM will foster communication with Tuba City site stakeholders by: ʒ Participating in regular meetings with stakeholders. ʒ Sharing information. ʒ Remaining open to all input and suggestions. Multiple information sources were used to develop this plan, including community interviews, activities currently being performed at the site, site fles, and community meeting records. Ofce of Legacy Management Presentation to Dine’ Uranium Remediation Advisory Council, May 2019 1 TUBA CITY, ARIZONA, COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT PLAN SECTION 2: SITE OVERVIEW 2.1: HISTORY Rare Metals Corporation of America and its successor, El Paso Natural Gas Company, operated a uranium mill at the Tuba City site between 1956 and 1966. During 10 years of operation, the mill processed approximately 800,000 tons of uranium ore. Milling operations created low-level radioactive mill tailings. The tailings were conveyed in slurry from the mill to a nearby tailings impoundment. The mill’s tailings impoundment and evaporation ponds covered a 55-acre area, and windblown tailings afected an additional 250 acres northeast of the mill site. DOE began site surface remedial action in 1988. All uranium mill tailings from the on-site piles, debris from demolished mill buildings, and windblown tailings were moved and stabilized in an on-site engineered disposal cell. The primary reason for stabilizing and covering the tailings and other mill-related debris was to reduce the radon exposure risk. DOE completed surface remediation in 1990. Handling waste created during mill operations resulted in contaminated groundwater in the Navajo aquifer. The primary source of contamination is water that drained from the unlined tailings impoundment and process ponds and infltrated into the subsurface. Groundwater contaminants with concentrations that exceed standards in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 192 (40 CFR 192), “Health and Environmental Protection Standards for Uranium and Thorium Mill Tailings,” are molybdenum, nitrate, selenium, and uranium. High levels of sulfate, total dissolved solids, and chloride are also present in the groundwater. Although these constituents are not regulated in 40 CFR 192, their concentrations in groundwater are high enough to cause concern, and restoration goals were established (in collaboration with cooperating tribal agencies) for comparison to monitoring results. Surface remediation was completed by DOE in 1990 at the former Rare Metals Corporation mill site (photo taken circa 1960) 2 TUBA CITY, ARIZONA, COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT PLAN 2.2: SITE DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION Location of the Tuba City Disposal Site The Tuba City site is within the Navajo Nation and in close proximity to the Hopi Reservation. The site is approximately 5 miles east of Tuba City and 85 miles northeast of Flagstaf, Arizona. Land near the site is used for grazing; adjacent land was used for dry and irrigated farming, and historically, rural residential purposes. There is no known domestic, industrial, or agricultural groundwater use from the contaminated region of the aquifer within the site. Nearby residences receive water from the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority. This water comes from a well in the bedrock aquifer approximately 1.5 miles northwest (hydraulically upgradient) of the site. The nearest surface water is located approximately 4,000 feet south of the site, where seeps are present along clif bands that border Moenkopi Wash. Surface water fow in Moenkopi Wash is seasonal. Water from the wash may be used for stock watering and agricultural diversions by Navajo and Hopi residents. Early site characterization eforts and ongoing annual monitoring have found no contamination from former milling operations in the seeps in this area. 3 TUBA CITY, ARIZONA, COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT PLAN SECTION 3: COMMUNITY BACKGROUND 3.1: COMMUNITY PROFILE The community of Tuba City is located within the Navajo Nation and is governed by a local Navajo Nation government Chapter House.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

  • Tribal Radio Stations As Key Community Informants and Sites of Resistance to Mainstream Media Narratives
    Tribal radio stations as key community informants and sites of resistance to mainstream media narratives Jana Wilbricht* University of Michigan, United States Abstract Rural US Indigenous communities are disproportionately affected by digital divides, insufficient infrastructures, and health disparities, so that community radio still represents a key medium in the lean mediascapes of these communities. The first US radio stations licensed to American Indian/Alaska Native tribes began broadcasting in 1971, about 50 years after the rise of rural radio in the US, which until then had almost entirely ignored Indigenous news, concerns, and voices. This paper draws on interview data from 2016 fieldwork conducted in Alaska and Arizona with two community radio stations serving the local, mostly Indigenous audience, to highlight how its historical ties to social activism continue to play a role in how tribal radio functions as a medium today. Tribal radio stations value not only traditional journalistic standards, but also advocacy for the community, combating stereotypes, and view themselves as distinct from mainstream and other community media. Keywords Tribal radio, Indigenous peoples, American Indians/Alaska Natives, community radio, Indigenous activism, social movements, Hopi, Yupik Introduction Community media, particularly radio, continue to play a central role in rural Indigenous communities in the United States (US). Not only are tribal lands in the US predominantly located in rural and remote areas, but as the Indigenous peoples of this continent, Native American and Alaska Native tribes have a unique and complex legal relationship with the US federal government, diverse and strong cultures, and a long history of colonialism, leading to the severe infrastructure injustice and health inequities affecting Indigenous communities today.
