Since the 1950s, uranium mining, coal mining, and coalfired power plants have been depositing harmful contaminants into Navajo water sources. Some issues of significance include contamination by the Peabody Coal mining on Black Mesa, pollution from radioactive tailings from Cold War uranium mining, and the 2015 Gold King Mine wastewater spill.

In addition, byproducts from ISR uranium mining such as lead, thorium, polonium, and arsenic are trace metals that pose risks equivalent to that of uranium.
