ACCOMPLISHMENTS
|
|
Since March 2003, the
Shiprock UMTRA Ground Water Project
initiated an extraction system that
removes contaminated water from the
subsurface of the floodplain and terrace
areas. Ground water is extracted
from 12 extraction wells and 2
interceptor drains and transported to an
111-acre solar evaporation pond located
south of the disposal cell. The
wells are strategically placed to
extract ground water from the
contaminated plume. Pumping from
the extraction wells may continue for as
long as 20 years.

Ground
water remediation at Tuba City is
accomplished with an active remediation
system that consists of the Extraction
of contaminated ground water using
extraction wells. Treatment of the
extracted water using ion exchange,
degasification and distillation to
produce treated water that is cleaner
than the site ground water and injection
of the treated water is released into
the aquifer.
