The Monticello Mill Tailings site, a former U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) processing facility, lies in the Montezuma Creek Valley, east of the Abajo Mountains in southeastern Utah. The former mill site, on 78 acres of land, is bordered by the City of Monticello. The mill was constructed by the Vanadium Corporation of America in 1942. In 1944 the mill began production of a uranium/vanadium sludge for the Manhattan Engineering District. In 1948, the US federal government bought the site. Mill operations stopped and tailings were stabilized in1960. In1964, the mill was dismantled.
