"At the request of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in October 2007, EPA, along with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Department of Energy (DOE), and the Indian Health Service (IHS) developed a coordinated Five-Year Plan to address uranium contamination in consultation with Navajo Nation EPA. In May 2008, EPA reported back to the Committee and to the Navajo Nation on its progress in implementing the Five-Year Plan. The lands of the Navajo Nation include scenic mountains, mesas and canyons spread over three states in the Four Corners area. The Five-Year Plan is the first coordinated approach created by the five federal agencies. This landmark plan outlines a strategy for cleanup and details the cleanup process for the Navajo Nation over the next five years".
