MEMORANDUM
TO: Phil Goble Uf '
FROM: Dean Henderson
DATE: August 22, 2013
SUBJECT: Review of the 1st Quarter 2013 Nitrate Monitoring Report for the Nitrate Contamination
Investigation, Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. ("EFR") White Mesa Uranium Mill,
near Blanding, Utah
The. Utah Division of Radiation Control ("DRC") has reviewed the May 31, 2013, White Mesa Uranium
Mill 1st Quarter 2013 Nitrate Monitonng Report ("Report") for the Nitrate Contamination Investigation.
For the review of this Report the following regulatory enforcement documents were used:
• Corrective Action Plan for Nitrate White Mesa Uranium Mill near Blanding, Utah, May 7, 2012,
("CAP")
• The EFR Quality Assurance Plan, June 7, 2012, Revision. 7.2 ("QAP")
REVIEW
Monitor Well Sampling
The following monitor wells were sampled as required in the CAP (see Table 1 below):
TWN-1, TWN-2, TWN-3, TWN-4, TWN-7, TWN-18, TW4-22. TWN-18, TWN-22, TWN-24, TWN-25,
Piezometer 1, Piezometer 2, and Piezometer 3.
The following monitonng wells were purged using the three approved QAP well purging strategies and
meet QAP requirements for each strategy:
1. Purging two casing volumes with stable field parameters for specific conductivity,
turbidity, pH, redox potential, and water temperature (within 10% RPD):
Wells: TWN-1, TWN-4, and TWN-18.
2. Purging a well to dryness and stability of field parameters for pH, specific conductivity, and
water temperature only after recovery:

Wells: TWN-3 and TWN-7
The water samples for the above wells were analyzed for chloride and nitrate plus nitrite as nitrogen as
required in the CAP. Chloride and nitrate plus nitrite as nitrogen were analyzed for methods consistent
with the requirements of the QAP.
QAQC
Holding Times
The method holding times for each parameter for samples collected at each monitor well were received and
analyzed within the required holding times in the QAP.
Receipt Temperature
All samples were received within the required QAP temperature limit of 6° C.
Detection Limits
All sample sets were measured and reported to the required QAP reporting limits.
Sample Duplicates
One duplicate sample was collected. Well TWN-4 and its duplicate sample TWN-65. All analytical
results for the sample/duplicate pair were within the 20% acceptance limits as required in the QAP (see
Table 2 below).
Groundwater Head Monitoring
Depth to groundwater was measured in the following wells and/or piezometers as required in Part I.E.3 of
the Permit: -
• The quarterly groundwater compliance monitonng wells.
• Existing monitoring well MW-4 and all of the temporary chloroform investigation
wells.
• Piezometers P-l, P-2, P-3, P-4 and P-5.
• MW-20, MW-22 and MW-34
• Nitrate monitoring wells.
• The DR piezometers which were installed during the Southwest Hydrologic
Investigation.
• In addition to the above, depth to water measurements are routinely observed in conjunction with
sampling events for all wells sampled during quarterly and accelerated efforts, regardless of the
sampling purpose.
All well levels used for groundwater contour mapping were measured and recorded within 5 calendar days
of each other.
Estimation of Pumped Nitrate Mass Removal
The reported estimated a total of approximately 128 lbs of nitrate was removed from the chloroform
pumping wells (MW-4, MW-26, TW4-4, TW4-19, and TW4-20) and the nitrate pumping wells (TWN-2,
TW4-22, TW4-24, and TW4-25). Of the 128 lbs removed approximately 107 lbs, or 83%, was removed by
the nitrate pumping wells. In Table 3, the DRC shows calculations that verify these reported estimates.

Reporting
The Report included the following information as required in the CAP:
a) Introduction
b) Sampling and Monitoring Plan:
i. Desenption of monitor wells sampled;
ii. Description of sampling methodology, equipment and decontamination
procedures;
iii. Identification of all quality assurance samples, e.g. equipment blanks
duplicate samples, etc.
c) Data Interpretation:
i. Interpretation of groundwater levels, gradients, and flow directions. The interpretation will
include a discussion on: 1) current site groundwater contour map, 2) hydrographs to show
groundwater elevation in each monitor well over time, 3) depth to groundwater measured and
groundwater elevation from each monitor well summarized in data table that includes historic
groundwater level data for each well, 4) calculations documenting quarterly nitrate mass
removed by pumping;
ii. Interpretation of all analytical results for each well including a discussion on: 1) a current
nitrate isoconcentration map, 2) graphs showing nitrate concentration trends in each well
through time and, analytical results for each well summarized in data table that includes
histonc analytical results for each well; and
iii. An electronic copy of all laboratory results for groundwater quality monitoring conducted
during the quarter will be provided to the Executive Secretary.
d) Conclusions and Recommendations
e) Copies of EFR field reports, laboratory reports, and chain of custody forms. The nitrate plume is
defined to include any monitoring well that has concentration of nitrate in excess of 10 mg/L.
Conclusions on Compliance with the SCA, Permit and QAP
Per the DRC review it appears that the Report complies with CAP and QAP. Therefore, a letter will be
drafted for the Director Signature, notifying EFR of the review and closing-out of the 1st Quarter 2013
Nitrate Monitoring Report.
