Source_Contribution:
From 1994 to 2000, USEPA Region 9 brought the project to approximately 30 chapters on the Navajo Nation. Outreach materials in the form of simple flyers and photographs were distributed to the chapter houses and trading posts. Maps were developed from the aerial surveys to show radiation contours, water-sampling results and risk analysis. These maps were provided to, and reviewed with, Chapter Officials. Several presentations on uranium, the mines and the environment were given at schools throughout the Navajo Nation. In January 2000, Michael Feeley (Deputy Director of the USEPA Region 9 Superfund Program) initiated demobilization of the field team. The demobilization was based on a request from Derrith Watchman-Moore, Executive Director of the NNEPA to cease all visits to tribal chapters. The project team began demobilization of all field activities including sampling and communications. The demobilization was completed January 31, 2000. Subsequently all aspects of the project began close-out activities leading to the summarization and distribution of the data collected between 1994 and 2000. These close-out activities included archiving all of the scientific information collected for the project and development of the Project Atlas.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
These data files were used to produce the report: "Abandoned Uranium Mines Project Arizona, New Mexico, Utah - Navajo Lands Project Atlas, 1994 - 2000." ICF obtained the report and data on a CDROM. The original spatial data for this consisted of a shape file called "umines.shp." The shape file, umines.shp, on the Navajo Data CD contains 887 records in Arizona and New Mexico. The ICF_ID was added which ranges from 10413 to 11299. The DB_Alias was added to the list of related databases by URS TechLaw, so this became DB_Alias 11. DB11 was originally in the coordinate system: GCS_Assumed_Geographic_1, Datum: D_North_American_1927. This file was converted to the same coordinate system as the others.
