Black Water Springs Sheep Dip Vat Site Removal

Black Water Springs Sheep Dip Vat Site Removal

Tepa worked with the Bureau of Indian Affairs to provide cleanup for the former Black Water Springs Navajo Nation sheep dip vat (SDV) site. The SDV was used to apply pesticides to the sheep to eradicate skin conditions and ticks. The dip vat was a concrete-lined subgrade trough 4 feet (ft) wide, 5 ft deep, and 44 ft in length. The project included the removal of SDV structures and contaminated soil.
