Moenkopi, Arizona-- A report released on May 11, 1999 by the Hopi Tribe disclosed the existence of high levels of groundwater contamination within the Moenkopi area.
Geologically, the Navajo aquifer (N-Aquifer) in the Moenkopi area is unconfined due to lack of a bounded bed or aquifer between the Navajo sandstone and Kayenta formations.
Since the processing plant was still closed, precipitation falling on the old mill tailings pile has dissolved some of the radioactive material, which has migrated into the Navajo sandstone creating an area of contamination migration downstream toward the villages through surface and subsurface flows in nearby washes.
