Remedial action report for Monticello, Utah, Vicinity Properties National Priority List Site, Operable Unit A
Uranium and vanadium milling activities were conducted by and for the US Atomic Energy Commission in Monticello, Utah, between 1942 and 1959, which resulted in the production of mill tailings containing radioactive materials. The tailings were wind blown and used to a limited extent for construction purposes in the Monticello area. In 1984, the US Department of Energy Grand Junction Office implemented the Monticello Vicinity Properties Project to isolate tailings-related sources from the environment and thereby prevent them from causing harm to human health or the environment. Remedial action is complete at Operable Unit A of the Monticello Vicinity Properties Project, which consists of 104 properties within the city limits of Monticello, Utah. These properties have been reconstructed and, pending the outcome of possible postconstruction activities on six properties, can be recommended for certification of conformance to project guidelines.
