Navajo lawmakers approve tribal Superfund bill that would allow cleanup of contaminat
By Susan Montoya Bryan
Albuquerque, New Mexico (AP) The Navajo Nation Council on during late February approved legislation that would establish a tribal Superfund law, allowing the tribe to clean up contaminated sites across its sprawling reservation. The council voted 50-15 in favor of the law during a special session in Window Rock, Ariz. The legislation, which must be signed by Navajo President Joe Shirley Jr., serves the same purposes as the federal Superfund law. It would allow Navajo officials to monitor and remove all hazardous substances, pollutants and contaminants on the 27,000 square-mile reservation that could endanger the health and safety of residents. |
