SUBJECT: Engineering Module 73. Inspection of Disposal of Bulk Byproduct Material February 27,
2017. Radioactive Material License UT1900479 (License) - Energy Fuels Resources
(USA) Inc. (EFR) White Mesa Mill, Blanding, Utah
On February 26, 2017, 1 traveled to the White Mesa Uranium Mill to perform multiple inspections,
including an inspection of in-situ leach (ISL) waste disposal operations on behalf of the Utah Division of
Waste Management and Radiation Control (DWMRC). Heather Mickelson, also representing the
DWMRC, accompanied me. This report pertains to the waste disposal operation inspection and responds
to 1 le.(2) Byproduct Receipt Notification letters from Energy Fuel Resources (EFR) dated January 24 and
February 10, 2017. EFR is allowed by License Condition 10.5 of its Radioactive Material License to
dispose this byproduct material in Tailings Cell 3 only.
On January 25, 2017 and February 14, 2017, the DWMRC received notices that EFR would receive a total
of three loads of 1 le.(2) byproduct material, and intended to dispose that waste in Cell 3 on February 10,
2017 and February 27, 2017. Inclement weather prevented work crews from performing the disposal
operation intended for February 10; that operation was delayed until February 27. Three loads were
received.
We checked in at the White Mesa Mill at 8:00 AM on February 27, 2017, and asked to see David Turk,
Site Manager for Environmental Health and Safety. Mr. Turk was not available, and we were escorted by
Garrin Palmer to oversee the disposal operation.
At approximately 9:20 AM, the crew assembled at a previously excavated disposal area with the requisite
equipment (a loader). Two loads of waste were disposed in one excavation, and one load in another
excavation. The field crew used the appropriate paperwork, i.e. Revision 3.3 of Procedure PBL-10, to
guide the operation. Approximate burial sites are located on the attached partial map of Tailings Cell 2.
Material disposed in the first excavation consisted of piping and other debris, much of it bagged
miscellaneous waste from the ISL plant near Nichols Ranch, Wyoming. These loads bore Shipper
Numbers NR-008-cpp and NR-009-wf, and were shipped by Greenfield Logistics. As can be seen in the

attached photo log (Photo 6), the bagged debris floated, so the burial could not be concluded at the time of
inspection. Crews pumped fluid out of the excavation, and then finished the burial. The licensee supplied
photographs (attached to this Memorandum following the photo log) to document completion of the
operation.
Material disposed in the second excavation consisted of soil from the ISL plant near Mestena, Texas. This
load bore Shipper Number 165, and was shipped by Energy Fuels Resources Alta Mesa. This burial
operation was carried to completion, as shown in the attached photo log. Densification by wheel-walking
resulted in a non-yielding surface.
Mr. Palmer surveyed the level at the bottom of the excavation prior to waste placement. Using a front-end
loader, the crew placed the waste in the excavations and tamped it down. Mr. Palmer then surveyed the
elevation of the top of the waste, and the crew filled the excavation to the top with soil. The survey
documentation and map in the attachments verify that the waste placement envelope falls at or above the
surface of tailings, within the platform fill layer, and well away from the cell bottom liner.
The bill of lading for each load appears in the attachments to this report.
I discussed the inspection with Logan Shumway, Mill Manager, prior to departing.
EFR appears compliant with Part 10.5.E.(2) of the RML with respect to the elevation of burial. It appeared
that all provisions of the approved disposal SOP Number PBL-10 Revision 3.3 were followed during
placement and burial of the bulk waste.
Finding: EFR appears to have followed applicable provisions of the RML and of the SOP for the burial
operation.
Recommendation: I recommend closing out the inspection of February 27, 2017.
