San Juan County-White Mesa. By Stephen T. Watson. More than 300,000 tons of radioactive waste have left the Town of Tonawanda for a uranium mill in Utah, where the material threatens the environment and those living near the site, critics say. The waste – enough to fill about 21,000 large dump trucks – dates to work at a Tonawanda industrial site during the World War II-era effort to produce the atomic bomb. A Western nonprofit, officials in Utah and neighboring states and members of local Native American tribes say the federal government improperly approved the mill to receive this and other waste. In a conference call with reporters Tuesday, they called on Congress to scrutinize the operations of the Energy Fuels White Mesa Mill in Utah and, if necessary, to force its closure. “I’d like to see the mill shut down,” said Malcolm Lehi, White Mesa Representative for the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe.
