Moab UMTRA Atlas Tailings Project - Moab, UT
In 1952, in a remote corner of southeastern Utah, geologist and prospector Charlie Steen struck the largest deposit of high-grade uranium ore that had ever been found in the United States. The discovery came at a time when America was frantic for a domestic source of uranium and this discovery set off a “uranium rush.”

Milltown Update
Milltown Dam Project Live WebCam
The Milltown project involved the removal of the Milltown Dam and approximately 2.2 million cubic yards of copper and arsenic impacted sediment impounded behind the dam. Removal of the dam and reservoir sediments was the selected action to address a ground water contamination issue in the surrounding aquifer. Because of the impacted sediment and seasonally fluctuating water levels, the dam was removed in stages to minimize scour of reservoir sediment during periods of drawdown. In fact, Envirocon constructed numerous, complex features to minimize sediment scour, including a 4,200-foot-long lined bypass channel designed to route the Clark Fork River around the construction area during sediment removal. Sediment excavation and transport by rail to the Opportunity, Montana was completed in September 2009, marking a major milestone in the project. At Opportunity the sediment was used in the reclamation of inactive tailings impoundments. Envirocon is responsible for all portions of the selected remedy, including remediation and design. Demolition of the dam's powerhouse and subsequent reservoir drawdown was completed in March 2008. Demolition of the dam's spillway started in June 2008, and was completed March 2009. In late March 2009 Envirocon diverted the Clark Fork River to its final channel through the spillway area of the removed dam and completed the final stage of reservoir drawdown. Sediment removal and floodplain reconstruction is near completion and the remediation portion of the project will be mostly completed in spring 2010. As the remediation portion of the project comes to an end Envirocon is looking forward to a continuing participation in the restoration portion of the project which will include construction activities throughout 2010. Envirocon completed the first Milltown restoration contract in January 2010, the scope of which included numerous diversions of the Clark Fork River upstream of the remedial site and reconstruction of approximately 6,600 linear feet of the Clark Fork River. Construction activities included realignment of the river channel and construction of numerous river bank and bed structures.
Envirocon would like to recognize and congratulate Mike Shaylor on recently passing the Professional Land Surveyor exam. The Montana Association of Registered Land Surveyors (MARS) recognizes Mr. Shaylor as a member and newly licensed Professional Land Surveyor.
