WINDOW ROCK— The Navajo Nation Council is scheduled to convene Tuesday for a special session to discuss establishing a tribal Superfund law.

Council delegates tabled the measure during their winter session after questions arose about how federal and state entities would be involved.

Josh Butler, a spokesman for council Speaker Lawrence Morgan, said questions of tribal sovereignty also arose, "which always raises a red flag with the Navajo Nation."

A work session is scheduled Monday so that delegates can discuss the bill before voting on it.

The proposed law would serve the same purposes as the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, known as the Superfund law.

It would allow Navajo officials to monitor and remove all hazardous substances, pollutants and contaminants that could endanger the health and safety of residents of the 27,000-square-mile reservation .

Like the Superfund law, the tribal legislation places responsibility for the cleanup on current and past owners of sites or those who arrange for hazardous substances to be brought onto the Navajo Nation.
