This polygon shapefile presents ranges of ground surface exposure rate from total terrestrial gamma activity, and calculated from aerial gross count data (all gamma events in the range of 38-3026 keV). Forty one (41) aerial radiological surveys of potential uranium mining areas (1,144 square miles) were conducted within the Navajo Nation during the period from October 1994 through October 1999. The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Region 9 funded the surveys and the US Department of Energy (USDOE) Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) in Las Vegas, Nevada conducted the aerial surveys. The aerial survey data were used to characterize the overall radioactivity (ground surface exposure rate) and excess Bismuth 214 levels within the surveyed areas.

This polygon shapefile presents ranges of ground surface exposure rate from excess Bismuth 214 in counts per second based upon the 1764keV photopeak. Excess Bismuth 214 is based upon measured minus expected Bismuth 214 times a per flight determined constant equal to a ratio of statistically most likely values.

This GIS dataset contains polygon features that represent all Abandoned Uranium Mines (AUMs) on or within one mile of the Navajo Nation. Attributes include mine names, aliases, Potentially Responsible Parties, reclamation status, EPA mine status, links to AUM reports, and the region in which an AUM is located. This dataset contains 608 features. As of June 2021, Phase 2 Trust mines were updated.
