MOAB, Utah - An energy consulting firm recently visited the Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Project to identify ways the site could conserve energy. The visit was part of a local program sponsored by the City of Moab that aims to reduce energy costs while helping the environment. The team examined equipment such as lighting, air conditioning units, and water pumps. The firm will ultimately present a report outlining potential energy savings, which will be considered by site staff members for implementation. The Moab Project is relocating mill tailings from a former mill site in Moab to an engineered disposal cell near Crescent Junction, Utah.
