The Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Project has efficiently relocated 17 million tons of waste from the riverbank. Following rail transportation, teams are actively monitoring groundwater contamination levels. Upcoming efforts will also involve excavating contaminated soil near the original tailings site.
