The US Government mismanaged but energy corporations were also significant drivers to this behavior. This follows a number of lawsuits: (2014) A $1 Billion dollar settlement to clean up 10% of existing abandoned uranium mines on the Navajo Nation which were operated by Kerr-McGee (now a part of Conoco Phillips) (2011) A $600 million dollar settlement with Peabody Coal for colluding with the Department of the Interior on setting below-market lease rates for Navajo coal (navajotimes/news/2011/0811/081811mine.php) (2010) $33 Million settlement for an Oil trust fund for Utah Navajos where $50 million of royalties had disappeared or was squandered on bribes, bad business deals and payoffs (navajotimes/news/2012/0712/071912pel.php#.VCOMSCldWsw) (1990) Uranium Miner Compensation Act (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_Exposure_Compensation_Act)
