The scope includes the maintenance of facilities, grounds, and railroad structures at the Moab Site and the Crescent Junction disposal cell, necessary to continue relocation of the mill tailings and associated wastes. This effort will continue making substantial progress toward remediation of the remaining residual radioactive material, including the remediation of the tailings pile, and remediation of the contaminated sub-pile below the tailings at the Moab Site.
