EPA description of the Church Rock nuclear waste spill superfund
site that is upstream from the relocation site 
- "The mining
of uranium has taken a heavy toll on the Indian population in the
Four Corners area. Not only did the Indians receive very little in the
way of royalties for the extraction of the ore from their lands, but
health and safety precautions in the mines were essentially non-existent.
Mine operators and the U. S. government appealed to the patriotism
of the local Indians to exempt them from conformance with labor laws.
The miners wore no protective clothing and therefore carried the contaminated
clothing home with them each day. They drank the water that seeped
through the ore layers into the mines. The tailings piles were left
in the open near the mouths of the mines to be blown over the land
by the breeze. The radon (gas) released from these tailings was carried
perhaps as far as the east coast by atmospheric currents. The tailings
themselves were slowly washed down into the rivers and thus into the
regional water supply.
Large ponds of radioactive residues from the processing of the ore were
created behind earthen dams with minimal regulation. One of these dams
broke on July 16, 1979, at Church Rock, NM,1 with disasterous consequences
for the Navajo population of this area. The volume of material released
was so great that manhole covers were lifted in Gallup, NM, 20 miles
downstream." - Karen M. Strom http://www.hanksville.org/voyage/Day9.html
