Re: Angell Springs Water Special Services District Concerns Regarding Silver Pointe VCP Site,
Leeds, Utah

Dear Michelle Peot and Karen Blenkinship:

Thank you for your letter to Region 8 Administrator Becker on January 6, 2024, regarding public water
district concerns related to the voluntary cleanup of uranium mines in Leeds, Utah. We reviewed your
letter and evaluated the remediation work that has been accomplished by the Utah Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ).

As stated in my letter to Michelle Peot dated June 28, 2023, the EPA conducted a review of existing
remedial plans and site management documents. Additionally, we reviewed DEQ’s response letter to
you dated March 7, 2024, specifically addressing your public drinking water source concerns. The EPA
concurs with DEQ’s summary that the site meets the cleanup standards proposed in the remedial
action plan and that a site management and environmental covenant are in place to govern future site
activities and ensure the remedy remains protective.

Thank you for your letter and for your concern for public health.

Sincerely,

Douglas Bacon, Acting Section Supervisor
Superfund Remedial Program
