Moab UMTRA Project
  
Energy Solutions has partnered with Envirocon and Castle Valley Resources, to help improve the
emergency response plan for the Moab UMTRA Project in southeastern Utah. Sixteen employees from two
shifts at the Moab and Crescent Junction sites and have recently completed a 50 hour First Responder training
course.
Their dedication to improving
the emergency healthcare service of their families and co-workers is very impressive. Many of these
individuals work the night shift, and followed up their regular shift with a 6 hour class on Friday,
and a 10 hour class on Saturday.
Every one of the Moab UMTRA
First Responder candidates, passed their written and practical examinations on their first attempt! That is
extremely impressive, and an indicator of how much effort they put in, away from the
classroom.
They will now be able to
provide emergency medical support inside the contaminated areas on the Moab UMTRA project, and
ultimately help expedite
patient treatment and transport.
In addition to the emergency
medical support they offer the project, these folks also add to the numbers of people trained in Moab, Green
River, Sandy, and Heber Utah, as well as Grand Junction, Cortez, and Nucla Colorado. Many of these First Responders
travel between Crescent Junction or Moab, and their home towns every day or every week. This also means
there is more emergency help available all across rural southeastern Utah, and southwestern Colorado's
highways!
  
The Moab UMTRA Project
is managed by the U.S. Department of Energy. It's purpose is to relocate environmental contaminants from
the Atlas Uranium Mill located north of Moab, Utah to a more geologically stable location near Crescent Junction,
Utah about 30 miles to the north. Visit the Department of Energy's website for the Moab UMTRA project, by clicking
