Moab, Utah
The scope of the Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project is to relocate mill tailings and other contaminated materials from a former uranium-ore processing facility (millsite) and from off-site properties known as vicinity properties in Moab, Utah, to an engineered disposal cell constructed near Crescent Junction, Utah. The scope also includes active remediation of groundwater at the millsite (Moab site). The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management in Grand Junction, Colorado, has primary responsibility for managing the Moab Project.
Uranium Reduction Company constructed the Moab mill in 1956 and operated it until 1962 when the assets were sold to Atlas Minerals Corporation (Atlas). Uranium concentrate (known as “yellowcake”), the milling product, was sold to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission through December 1970 for use in national defense programs. After 1970, production was primarily for commercial sales to nuclear power plants. During its years of operation, the mill processed an average of about 1,400 tons of ore a day.
The milling operations created process-related wastes and tailings, a radioactive, sand-like material. The tailings were pumped to an unlined impoundment in the western portion of the property that accumulated over time, forming a pile more than 80 feet thick. Although more than 90 percent of the uranium was removed during processing, radium and other decay products remained in the tailings, which have an average radioactivity of about 660 picocuries per gram of radium-226. The tailings, especially in the center of the pile, have a high water content. In the past, excess water in the pile drained through underlying soils, contaminating the groundwater. Atlas operated the site until 1984 under a license and regulatory authority provided by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Atlas demolished the processing buildings and buried them in the southwestern corner of the tailings pile and placed an interim cover over the pile as part of decommissioning activities conducted between 1988 and 1995. There was an estimated 12 million cubic yards (16 million tons) of mill tailings and other contaminated materials present in the pile. Atlas proposed to stabilize the tailings pile at Moab by permanently capping it in place; however, Atlas declared bankruptcy in 1998 and, in doing so, relinquished its license. Because NRC could not legally possess a site it regulated, NRC appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers as the trustee of the Moab Mill Reclamation Trust and licensee for the site. The trustee initiated site reclamation, conducted groundwater studies, and performed site maintenance activities.
In 2008 and 2009, DOE performed extensive infrastructure construction at the Moab and Crescent Junction sites in preparation for moving the mill tailings. In April 2009, DOE began relocating the tailings to the disposal cell. Tailings are excavated and conditioned in drying beds to reach the optimal moisture content for disposal. The tailings are then placed in steel containers with locking lids for transport to Crescent Junction. A gantry crane is used to transfer containers to and from the train at Moab. The Moab Project is currently shipping four trains a week, each carrying up to 156 containers. The Project is currently estimated to be completed in 2029.
At the Crescent Junction site, the containers carrying tailings are unloaded from the train onto trucks that take them to the disposal cell dumping area. The tailings are dumped through end gates in the containers and placed in the cell to meet compaction specifications. The empty containers are reloaded onto railcars and returned to the Moab site.
Heart Mountain Relocation Center hospital, boiler room and smokestack. And, yes, the smokestack leans. Due to deterioration of the masonry and consistent strong west winds, the smokestack is 18 inches out of alignment. If the smoke stack continues to deteriorate, it will eventually fall. Thus there are efforts to preserve the smokestack while maintaining its historical value.
Nov. 28 - Dec. 2, 2018. Volunteers from Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club, Natural Bridge Appalachian Trail Club, and Konnarock Trail Crew alumni rallied to complete an A.T. relocation on the southern slope of Sinking Creek Mountain in central VA. This 0.4-mile switchback was started in 2016, and features a great deal of technical rock work as it crosses rock fields to replace a steep, eroded section near the top of the ridge.

This rather large shrub/tree has had to be uprooted from the spot where it has grown very happily for the last six years to make way for the impending building work. It looks a bit tatty as it's just gone through a very hard winter and hasn't started growing yet, but it's been a star performer in a garden that struggles with evergreens due to the clay/flooding situation. It used to be the first thing you saw when you came in so I'm sad to move it, but it seems to be settling in ok. It wasn't easy to move - mr aspidistra was a star digger but I had doubts that it would come out of the hole as it's really heavy. It was dark last night by the time it finally made it to its new home and we had to fill in the hole by torchlight. I just hope it survives.

In February 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. It authorized the relocation of all Japanese-Americans living on the West Coast of the United States. Over 120,000 people were sent to 10 war relocation centers. One of them was Manzanar, located in the harsh but beautiful Owens Valley of eastern California. Eventually over 10,000 Japanese-Americans were forced to live in this 500 acre compound for the duration of World War II. Today the National Park Service oversees the site.

Carinthia
History
The day of the plebiscite on October 10 is a holiday in Carinthia. After the end of the First World War in 1918, troops of the so-called SHS states, which consisted of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, occupied parts of southeastern Carinthia, where many Slovenes lived. The SHS states demanded lands from Austria and pushed ever further into the interior, so even the state government had to relocate its headquarters.
The Carinthian government decided in December 1918 to defend itself against the occupiers, but hoped in vain for support from the federal government, which wanted to avoid armed conflicts.
Thus, the Carinthians fought on their own and gradually conquered areas of the SHS states back. The defensive campaign ended on 14 January 1919. The Treaty of St. Germain laid down a plebiscite on the membership of the occupied territories.
This vote took place on October 10, 1920. The result was that most of the Slovenes in southeastern Carinthia would prefer to continue to belong to Austria, which is probably due among other things to economic causes.
Thus, in Austria, this day became the day of the plebiscite, when citizens had the rare opportunity to decide their own fate. Although the SHS states tried to occupy the territories again after this vote in Carinthia on 10 October, they finally withdrew for fear of international conflicts.
Customs
The 10th of October is still celebrated today as the day of the referendum. The day of the referendum is a holiday that is not entirely free of work. Although schools, offices and authorities are closed on 10 October, many people are still doing their usual job.
On October 10, the Carinthians today commemorate their struggle against the occupiers and their right to self-determination, which they enforced without help. The 10th of October is still a politically controversial topic. Because shortly before the day of the referendum, the Slovenian ethnic group in Carinthia were guaranteed linguistic and cultural characteristics, which were not implemented before 2011 by the installation of 164 bilingual town signs, a support package for bilingual kindergartens, a Slovenian music school and Slovenian cultural institutions.
Even stamp collectors find what their hearts desire, because again and again special stamps appear on certain anniversaries.
Legal rules
The 10th of October (day of referendum) is not a public holiday within the meaning of the federal law. In Carinthia, the 10th of October is a public holiday, which is not absolutely free of work, but where schools, offices and authorities have closed.
Kärnten
GESCHICHTE
Der Tag der Volksabstimmung am 10. Oktober ist ein Feiertag in Kärnten. Nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs 1918 hielten Truppen der sogenannten SHS-Staaten, die sich aus dem Königreich der Serben, Kroaten und Slowenen zusammensetzten, Teile des südöstlichen Kärntens besetzt, in dem viele Slowenen lebten. Die SHS-Staaten forderten Ländereien von Österreich und drangen immer weiter ins Landesinnere vor, sodass sogar die Landesregierung ihren Sitz verlegen musste.
Die Kärntner Regierung beschloss im Dezember 1918, sich gegen die Besatzer zur Wehr zu setzen, hoffte dabei aber vergeblich auf Unterstützung der Wiener Bundesregierung, die bewaffnete Auseinandersetzungen umgehen wollte.
So kämpften die Kärntner auf eigene Faust und eroberten nach und nach Gebiete von den SHS-Staaten zurück. Der Abwehrkampf endete am 14. Januar 1919. Der Friedensvertrag von St. Germain legte eine Volksabstimmung über die Zugehörigkeit der besetzten Gebiete fest.
Diese Abstimmung fand am 10. Oktober 1920 statt. Das Ergebnis war, dass die meisten Slowenen im südöstlichen Kärnten lieber weiterhin zu Österreich gehören wollten, was wohl unter anderem auf wirtschaftliche Ursachen zurückzuführen ist.
So wurde dieser Tag in Österreich zum Tag der Volksabstimmung, an dem die Bürger die seltene Gelegenheit hatten, selbst über ihr Schicksal zu bestimmen. Zwar versuchten die SHS-Staaten auch nach dieser Abstimmung vom 10. Oktober in Kärnten erneut, die Gebiete zu besetzen, zogen sich jedoch aus Furcht vor internationalen Konflikten endgültig zurück.
BRAUCHTUM
Der 10. Oktober wird auch heute noch als Tag der Volksabstimmung gefeiert. Der Tag der Volksabstimmung ist ein Feiertag, der jedoch nicht gänzlich arbeitsfrei ist. Zwar haben Schulen, Ämter und Behörden am 10. Oktober geschlossen, aber viele Menschen gehen dennoch ihrer gewohnten Arbeit nach.
Am 10. Oktober gedenken die Kärntner heute ihres Kampfes gegen die Besatzer und ihres Selbstbestimmungsrechtes, das sie ohne Hilfe durchsetzten. Der 10. Oktober ist jedoch bis heute ein politisch umstrittenes Thema. Denn kurz vor dem Tag der Volksabstimmung wurden der slowenischen Volksgruppe in Kärnten sprachliche und kulturelle Eigenheiten zugesichert, die erst im Jahre 2011 durch die Aufstellung von 164 zweisprachigen Ortsschildern, ein Förderpaket für zweisprachige Kindergärten, eine slowenische Musikschule und durch slowenische Kultureinrichtungen umgesetzt wurden.
Auch Briefmarkensammler kommen auf ihre Kosten, denn immer wieder erscheinen zu bestimmten Jubiläen besondere Briefmarken.
GESETZLICHE REGELUNG
Der 10. Oktober (Tag der Volksabstimmung) ist kein gesetzlicher Feiertag im Sinne des Bundesgesetzes. In Kärnten gilt der 10. Oktober als Feiertag, der zwar nicht absolut arbeitsfrei ist, an dem Schulen, Ämter und Behörden jedoch geschlossen haben.
