Moab Uranium Mill Tailing Remedial Action Project Celebrates Official Start of Mill Tailings Haul
May 4, 2009

The Moab, Utah Uranium Mill Tailing Remedial Action Project, a site supported by the EMCBC, on May 4, celebrated the official beginning of its mill tailings haul that will move 16.5 million tons of tailings away from Moab and the Colorado River, to a permanent engineered disposal cell in Crescent Junction, 30 miles away.

About 150 invited guests and employees attended the tailings haul event, which was held at the rail load out area at the Moab site. Several speakers, including Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr., gave remarks, which were followed by a ribbon-cutting and a demonstration of the massive gantry crane used to load and unload containers of tailings to and from railcars. Guests were served yellow cake and punch following the ceremony.

The train now departs the Moab site once daily, Monday through Thursday. Trainloads will initially consist of 88 containers. With funding received through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the project is evaluating options to maximize the volume of tailings shipped by the end of fiscal year 2011.


Our Employees, Our Communities
EMCBC Volunteers Roll Up Their Sleeves to Once Again Help the “One-Way Farm”
June 5, 2009

Rolling up their sleeves and getting to work, 11 employees and a volunteered spouse continued a three–year EMCBC tradition that has carried over from the former Fernald Closure Project on June 5, 2009. The One-Way Farm is a home and refuse for abused and neglected children in the Cincinnati area.

“I call on all Americans to stand up and do what they can to serve their communities, shape our history and enrich both their own lives and the lives of others across this Nation,” President Barrack Obama, March 26, 2009.



The EMCBC volunteers spent the better part of the day planting flowers, weeding, laying mulch, trimming bushes, and cutting brush at the One-Way Farm.
