English: The Church Rock Uranium Mill spill — when the United Nuclear Corporation's uranium mill tailings disposal pond broke through its dam, in July 1979 in New Mexico.
- Over 1,000 tons of solid radioactive mill waste and 93 million gallons of acidic, radioactive tailings solution flowed into the Puerco River, from McKinley County, New Mexico to Navajo County, Arizona and onto the Navajo Nation.
- The former uranium facility and current Superfund site is located 17 miles (27 km) north of Gallup, New Mexico.
