The ore buying station at Marysvale purchased uranium ore for the AEC. The American Smelting and Refining Company (ASRC) managed and operated the Marysvale station from March 1950 to January 1956. Lucius Pitkin replaced ASRC as the M&O contractor in February 1956. The AEC leased the land on which the ore buying station sat from a private owner.
This mill conducted ore processing operations from 1957 through 1965. DOE environmental remediation contractors performed remediation under the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (Public Law 95-604) at the Uranium Mill in Mexican Hat for a few months in 1987 and again for a few months of 1995. DOE and DOE contractor employees who performed this remediation are covered under EEOICPA.
The ore buying station at Moab purchased uranium ore for the AEC. The American Smelting and Refining Company (ASRC) managed and operated the Moab station from May 1954 to January 1956. Lucius Pitkin replaced ASRC as the M&O contractor in February 1956. The AEC leased the site, which is located adjacent to a Uranium Reduction Company mill, from a private owner. A second ore buying station located on the property of the Uranium Reduction Company mill site is not covered under EEOICPA.
Under the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2001, Congress authorized the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) to manage and reclaim
the former uranium-ore processing site near
Moab, Utah, under Title I of the Uranium Mill
Tailings Radiation Control Act. DOE assumed
ownership of the facility, now known as the Moab
Project, on October 25, 2001. Currently, S.M.
Stoller Corporation, under its prime contract
with DOE, and its teaming partner MFG
Corporation are performing operations and
maintenance activities at the site and preparing
an Environmental Impact Statement for
remediation of the site.
Although this mill
had numerous historical contracts with the U. S.
Atomic Energy Commission for uranium milling
services, the mill was privately owned, and
therefore, the designation of this location as a
DOE facility cannot be effective until 2001.
The ore buying station at Monticello purchased uranium ore for the AEC. The American Smelting and Refining Company (ASRC) managed and operated the Monticello station from 1948 to January 1956. Lucius Pitkin replaced ASRC as the M&O contractor in February 1956. The AEC purchased the site in 1948 from the War Assets Administration.
The U.S. Atomic
Energy Commission (AEC)–-owned processing mill
at Monticello recovered uranium and vanadium
from AEC-furnished ore.. The Galigher Company
was contracted to redesign an existing mill at
that location after the AEC purchased it from
the War Assets Administration in 1948. Galigher
became the Management and Operations (M&O)
contractor for the redesigned mill in August
1949. The National Lead Company, Inc., assumed
responsibility for mill management and
operations on April 1, 1956. The AEC shut down
the mill and began decommissioning activities in
1960.
Additionally, from 1983 through 2000,
DOE environmental remediation contractors
performed environmental remediation under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) at the
Uranium Mill in Monticello. DOE and DOE
contractor employees who performed this
remediation are covered under EEOICPA.
The ore buying station at White Canyon purchased uranium ore for the AEC. The American Smelting and Refining Company (ASRC) managed and operated the White Canyon station from October 1954 to January 1956. Lucius Pitkin replaced ASRC as the M&O contractor in February 1956. The AEC leased the land for the ore buying station from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)..
