What are your thoughts about these preliminary Redevelopment Plans for the former NFPI site (zoom in to see the details)? These are not final, and nothing is promised... this is merely asking for public input about FUTURE redevelopment of the site (as there is still more assessments needed and remediation/clean-up of the site). Your feedback is appreciated.

We need your help. Please write to the Navajo Nation Council in support of this legislation where we are asking for $5 Million to help with clean-up/remediation of the former NFPI site. This legislation will go before Council in the Winter Session where they will decide whether to fund our efforts or deny our request.

Did you know Navajo Forest Products Industries (NFPI) was an enterprise of the Navajo Nation? The photo is a copy of the cover of a 50 year old NFPI report.

The team presented before a Council work session on the old NFPI site. The community is asking for funding to help Navajo EPA continue assessments and remediation/clean-up of the site and other areas (old dump, creek and lake). Please talk to your Council Delegate about the importance of cleaning up the old NFPI site and other areas it impacted, making our community safe and beautiful, and putting those lands back into beneficial use.
