- DESCRIPTION a.
Background: Under the authority of Section 104 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) or Super fund of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA); Subtitle I of the Resource Conservation and Recover y Act (RCRA) and pursuant to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) (40 CFR Part 300); and in accordance with any reauthorizations or amendment s to any of the above named statutes and new response legislation, the EPA has been delegated the responsibility to undertake response actions with respect to the release or threat of release of hazardous substances, or pollutants and contaminants, that pose an actual or potential threat to human health or welfare, or to the environment. b. Navajo Area Uranium Mines (USEPA Region 9) The Navajo Nation encompasses more than 27,000 square miles, spread amongst the Four Corners Region of the USA (Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona).
The unique geology of the region makes the Navajo Nation rich in uranium, a radioactive ore in high demand after the development of atomic power and weapons at the close of World War II in the 1940s. Approximately four million tons of uranium ore were extracted during mining operations within the Navajo Nation from 1944 to 1986. Many Navajo people worked the mines, often living and raising families in close proximity to the mines and mills.
Uranium mining and milling activities no longer occur on Navajo lands, but the legacy of these activities remains, including more than 500 abandoned uranium mine claims with thousands of mine features such as pits, trenches, holes, etc., and homes and drinking water sources with elevated levels of uranium, radium and other radionuclides. Uranium and other elements (selenium, arsenic, etc.) associated with mine and mill sites also occur naturally at elevated levels in rock, soil, surface water, and groundwater across the Navajo Nation and the broader Four Corners region.
USEPA maintains a strong partnership with the Navajo Nation and, since 1994, the USEPA Superfund Program has provided technical assistance and funding to assess potentially contaminated sites and develop a response. In August 2007, the USEPA Superfund Program compiled a Comprehensive Database and Atlas of all known uranium mines on the Navajo Nation. In October 2007, at the request of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, EPA, along with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Department of Energy (DOE), and the Indian Health Service (IHS) developed a coordinated epa.gov/navajo-nation-uranium-c... to address uranium contamination in consultation with Navajo Nation EPA. d. Region 9 The primary hazardous substance on all the sites referenced in the requirement’s Statement of Work (SOW) is radiological mine and mine related waste; therefore, a significant knowledge base of radiological material handling, environmental data interpretation, and data collection will be required to perform the activities within this SOW.
The terrain to access site locations is rough, water is scarce, and the weather is often extreme in most areas. The trails and/or roads to the sites are not improved or maintained. To reach the site locations, 4-wheel drive vehicles (capable of drives over rough dirt/rocky roads) and/or hiking long dista
