Baseline risk assessment of ground water contamination at the Uranium Mill Tailings Site near Tuba City, Arizona

Technical Report · Wed Jun 01 00:00:00 EDT 1994

OSTI ID:10162135

This document evaluates potential public health or environmental impacts resulting from ground water contamination at the former uranium mill site. The tailings and other contaminated material at this site were placed in a disposal cell on the site in 1990 by the US Department of Energy`s Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project. The second phase of the UMTRA Project is to evaluate ground water contamination. This risk assessment is the first site-specific document under the Ground Water Project. It will help determine what remedial actions are necessary for contaminated ground water at the site.
