SUBJECT: Review of the Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. 2nd Quarter 2021 Ground Water
Monitoring Report for the White Mesa Uranium Mill
Review Summary:
The Utah Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control ("DWMRC") has reviewed the
following documents submitted by Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. ("EFR"):
1. EFR, August 2, 2021, Transmittal of Zid Quarter 2021 Groundwater Monitoring
Report Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit UGW370004 White Mesa Uranium
Mill (Received by DWMRC on August 5, 2021).
2. EFR, July 28, 2021, State of Utah Ground Water Discharge Permit No. UGW370004
White Mesa Uranium Mill — Notice Pursuant to Part I.G. I (a).
The review was conducted to ensure compliance with all applicable parts of Utah Groundwater
Discharge Permit No. UGW370004 ("Permit") issued for the White Mesa Uranium Mill located in
Blanding, Utah (Mill).
1. Checklist of Significant Findings of the 2' Qtr. 2021 Report and Related Actions at the
White Mesa Uranium Mill:
1. The 2nd Quarter 2021 Report was received on August 5, 2021, which was before
the due date (Permit Part I.F.1 - due date of September 1).
2. DWMRC notes that samples were analyzed by American West Analytical
Laboratories ("AWAL") except for Gross Alpha, which was analyzed by GEL
Laboratories LLC, Charleston, South Carolina. DWMRC verified that the

laboratories have current Utah certification. It was noted that GEL laboratories has
addressed issues noted on previous reports regarding the method used for gross
alpha radium and is now reporting that method 903.0 is used. This method is now
included in the facility QAP and GEL has current Utah certification to use that
method.
3. Laboratory QA/QC flags were documented in the review period analytical data
reports from the contract laboratories and an in-house QA/QC review was
conducted by EFR regarding all field and laboratory data. Per DWMRC review it
appears that all discrepancies were self-reported by EFR.
4. One new compliance parameter went into accelerated monitoring frequency based
on sampling during the 2nd Quarter 2021: MW-24 (Total Dissolved Solids).
2. Accelerated Monitoring and POC Wells Exceeding GWCL's:
When a monitoring well has a pollutant that exceeds a Ground Water Compliance Limit (GWCL)
set forth in Table 2 of the Permit, it is in Probable Out-of-Compliance (POOC) status. According
to the Permit, EFR is then required to immediately initiate accelerated sampling of that pollutant
(see the Permit, Part I.G.1). When monitoring wells have parameters that have exceeded the
Ground Water Compliance Limit (GWCL) two or more consecutive times they are in Out-of-
Compliance (00C) status (see the Permit, Part I.G.2).
In the event a constituent is in 00C status, EFR is required to prepare and submit within 30
calendar days to the Director a plan and time schedule for assessment of the sources, extent and
potential dispersion of the contamination, and an evaluation of potential remedial action to restore
and maintain groundwater quality to ensure that Permit limits will not be exceeded at the
compliance monitoring point and that DMT or BAT will be re-established, in accordance with
Part I.G.4(c) of the Permit.
One new compliance parameter went into accelerated monitoring frequency (POOC) based on
sampling during the 2'd Quarter 2021: MW-24 (Total Dissolved Solids). Two monitoring
parameters have been returned to baseline monitoring frequency based on eight or more sample
results below the groundwater compliance limit: MW-26 (Total Dissolved Solids), and MW-28
(Gross Alpha).
Current Accelerated Monitoring Status:
The table below (Table 1) lists monitoring wells with parameters currently in 00C or POOC
status and therefore required to be sampled under the accelerated monitoring requirements:

EFR 2nd Quarter 2021 Groundwater Monitoring Report
DWMRC Review Memo
Page 4
Table 1 above is a comprehensive list of all Groundwater Monitoring Wells in Accelerated Status
as of the 2nd Quarter of 2021. EFR is required to notify the DWMRC on a quarterly basis
regarding wells and parameters which went into accelerated monitoring during the period [Part
I.G.1(a), Accelerated Monitoring Status Reports (AMSR)]. For the 2'd Quarter 2021 monitoring,
the AMSR was dated July 28, 2021. Review of the AMSR is included in a separate section
below.
3. Monitoring Wells Purged for Two Casing Volumes Before Sample Collection:
As stated in Section 6.2.7 of the EFR Quality Assurance Plan (QAP), Rev. 7.6, EFR has a choice
regarding purge volumes as follows:
"1. Purging three well casing volumes with a single measurement offield parameters
2. Purging two casing volumes with stable field parameters (within 10% RPD)
3. Purging a well to dryness and stability of a limited list offield parameters after recovery"
Per DWMRC review of the Report, the following purge methods were used during the 2'd Quarter
2021 (including accelerated samples). Purge methods and volumes are summarized in Tab G, on
Table G-1A and G-1B of the Report:
Quarter # Purged 2 Casing # Purged to Dryness # Purged 3 Casing Volumes
Volumes
2nd Qtr. 2021 29 7 5 (continuous pumping)
When purging two casing volumes, the QAP directs EFR to first calculate the amount of time to
evacuate two casing volumes and then to pump for that length of time. Per DWMRC cross-check
of the field data sheets for each of the reports reviewed, it appears EFR correctly calculated the
well casing volumes and evacuated the required two volumes (when 2 casing volume method
selected) in monitoring wells prior to sample collection during the 2nd Quarter 2021 monitoring
period. Volumes are calculated according to measured pump rates and can be verified by
calibration marks on the collection containers.
During the 2nd Quarter 2021 monitoring period seven wells were pumped or bailed to dryness. In
cases where wells are evacuated to dryness the QAP Rev. 7.4 (Attachment 2-3) requires that:
"(vii) If the well is purged to dryness:
Record the number of gallons purged on the Field Data Worksheet.
The well should be sampled as soon as a sufficient volume of groundwater is available to fill
sample containers.
Upon arrival at the well after recovery or when sufficient water is available for sampling measure
depth to water and record on the Field Data Worksheet.
EFR 2nd Quarter 2021 Groundwater Monitoring Report
DWMRC Review Memo
Page 5
Take one set of measurements offield parameters for pH, specific conductance, and temperature
only.
Collect the samples into the appropriate sample containers.
Take an additional set of measurements offield parameters for pH, specific conductance and
temperature after the samples have been collected.
If the field parameters of pH, specific conductance and temperature are within 10% RPD the
samples can be shipped for analysis.
If the field parameters of pH, specific conductance and temperature are not within 10% RPD,
dispose of the sample aliquots, and purge the well again as described above.
Repeat this process i f necessary, for three complete purging events. If after the third purging the
event, the parameters of pH, specific conductance and temperature do not stabilize to within 10%
RPD, the well is considered sufficiently purged and collected samples can be submitted for
analysis."
DWMRC staff verified that in cases where the monitoring well was evacuated to dryness and
samples were collected, the number of gallons evacuated was recorded in compliance with the
QAP. Additionally, depth to water before sample collection was recorded on all applicable field
data worksheets which resolved past DWMRC comments.
4. Relative Percentage Difference Calculations and Radiological Comparisons for Blind
Duplicate Analysis:
DWMRC conducted a review of the blind duplicate samples collected during the 2nd Quarter
2021. Per the QAP, one blind duplicate must be collected with each sample batch. DWMRC
confirmed that one blind duplicate was collected for each batch — 4 total during the quarterly event
— two with the baseline samples (MW-14/MW-65 on 4/20/2021) and (MW-22/MW-70 on
4/27/21); and two with the accelerated samples, (MW-30/MW-65 on 5/11/2021) and (MW-
11/MW-65 on 6/8/2021).
The duplicates are required to be within 20% Relative Percent Difference (RPD), unless "the
measured concentrations are less than 5 times the required detection limit (Standard Methods,
1998)."
Per the QAP, if any of the samples do not meet the comparison criteria (and are not qualified
according to the 5 times method detection limit criteria) then EFR is required to conform to the
procedures for corrective action listed as follows:
1. Notify the laboratory,
2. Request the laboratory review all analytical results for transcription and calculation errors,
and,
EFR 2nd Quarter 2021 Groundwater Monitoring Report
DWMRC Review Memo
Page 6
If the samples are still within holding time, the QA Manager may request the laboratory re-
analyze the affected samples.
Per DWMRC cross check of the blind duplicate samples collected and analyzed during the 2nd
Quarter 2021 sampling event all results conform to the Permit requirements (within 20% RPD)
except for Total Dissolved Solids in the 4/27/21. As summarized in the 2nd Quarter 2021 Report
and in the Mill QAP since the results were for TDS in this case were below 5 times the reporting
limit no further action is required.
Radiological duplicate sample results met duplicate counting error requirements in the currently
approved QAP for the 2nd Quarter 2021. No additional action is required. It was noted that
several of the reported sample results did not meet the radiological counting error requirements of
less than 20% of the result, however, in those cases no further action is required based on the QAP
condition that the 20% criteria does not have to be met if the sum of the result and error is less
than the GWCL. The sum was less than the GWCL in all samples which had a Permit GWCL for
comparison.
5. Analytical Laboratories Used by EFR Certified by State of Utah to Perform Analysis
for all Analvtes:
The analytical laboratories (GEL Laboratories LLC, Charleston, SC and American West
Analytical Laboratories, Salt Lake City, UT) were contracted by EFR to perform analysis on the
samples collected during the 2nd Quarter 2021. Per DWMRC review of the National
Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Management System Website (cross check of laboratory
certification for specific parameters) it appears that the EFR contract laboratories were certified to
perform analysis for the specified parameters (Per the laboratory data sheets):

6. Laboratory Report Turn Around Times:
Per DWMRC review of EFR Table 1 included in the 2nd Qtr. 2021 Report, it was noted that
laboratory report turnaround times (from date of EFR sample submission to the contract
laboratory) for normal frequency monitoring was approximately 30 days for all samples (not
including re-submission/corrected reports). Per DWMRC review it was noted that EFR acted
quickly to identify any deficiencies in the reports and request corrected versions.
There is not a turnaround time requirement in the current QAP; therefore, current turnaround
times are judgment based. DWMRC has raised concern over excessive laboratory turn-around
times in the past and the Director may require a turn-around date be included in the facility QAP if
any future concerns regarding analysis turnaround times are noted. Based on DWMRC review the
turn-around times for the 2nd Quarter 2021, data turn-around times and EFR data review timelines
appear to be reasonable/appropriate.
7. Sample Holding Times:
Per the Report Section 3.4.2 and Tables in Tab G of the Report, all method holding times and
reporting limits were met for each analyte submitted for laboratory analysis (for baseline and
accelerated samples). DWMRC staff cross checked all holding time requirements and verified
that all samples/analytes appeared to be analyzed within holding times during the 2' Qtr. 2021
reporting period.
8. Sample Preservation:
Per review of the 2nd Quarter 2021 Report (Tab G, and Laboratory Check-in Sheets) it appears
that all samples required to be chilled (<6° C) met the temperature preservation requirements. Per
review of the laboratory check in sheets and laboratory QA/QC, no issues related to sample
preservation were noted. Per EFR information and method requirements, samples for gross alpha
analysis do not have a sample temperature requirement.
9. Sample Trip Blank Evaluation:
Per Section 3.4.6 of the Report and Tables in Tab G of the 2'd Quarter Report all trip blank results
associated with the quarterly, semi-annual, and accelerated samples were nondetect for volatile
organic compounds.
10. Laboratory QA/QC Flags — 2" Quarter 2021:
QA/QC issues and DWMRC findings for the 2nd Quarter 2021 are summarized below:

dilution and qualifies the
data based on all sample
results being above the
raised RL.
The EFR QAP allows for
raised RL's if due to the
need for dilution.
DWMRC verified that in
all cases when the RL was
raised above the QAP
required RL the sample
result was higher in
concentration.

Y Per the Permit, if the value
of the result is less than the
appropriate GWCL then
the counting error can be >
20% (Table G-8A).
The EFR QAP Part 9.1.4.b
allows that if the
applicable result is less

Note: DWMRC reviewed the holding time summary chart; no exceedances of holding times
were noted.
DWMRC reviewed the temperature check charts, all sample batches were received by the
laboratory <6° C.
11. Review of Time-Concentration Plots
The Permit Part I.F.1.g requires EFR to submit Time-Concentration Plots for each monitoring
well for primary indicators of cell leakage; chloride, fluoride, sulfate, and uranium. DWMRC
notes that per the discussions with EFR, it was agreed to that EFR need not plot trend lines on the
Time Concentration Plots and that all data is included on the plots (no data culled from the set).
Per DWMRC review of the 2nd Qtr. 2021 Report, the reviewed plots appear to be in conformance
with the agreed upon changes.

12. Review of Depth to Groundwater Measurements and Water Table Contour Maps
Per DWMRC cross checks of groundwater elevation measurement calculations used for the 2nd
Quarter 2021, approximately 5% of wells cross checked, comparing surface casing measured
elevations minus measured static levels with plotted elevations, no errors were noted.
The upper wildlife ponds at the White Mesa Mill were taken offline (pond recharge from
Recapture Reservoir discontinued) during the 4th Quarter 2011 to re-establish groundwater
contours. Hydrographs of the upper wildlife pond ground water piezometers (Water Level
Elevation vs. Time) are included below (Northern piezometers and southern piezometers). It was
also noted that the static water levels in several monitoring wells close to the upper wildlife ponds
showed significant decrease in water levels since the ponds were taken offline. These declines
can be attributed to natural dissipation of the area ground water mound and/or ground water
pumping activities related to corrective action of nitrate and chloroform contamination plumes
(development of cone of depressions around pumping wells).

Nitrate and Chloroform Corrective Action Plan Pumping Wells:
Ground water elevations are being impacted by effects from ground water pumping for the nitrate
and chloroform contamination plume remediation. The following monitoring wells have been
converted to active pumping wells:
Nitrate Pumping Wells — TW4-22, TW4-24, TW4-25, TWN-2 (The nitrate pumping project was
initiated during January 2013).
Chloroform Pumping Wells — MW-4, MW-26, TW4-1, TW4-2, TW4-4, TW4-11, TW4-19, TW4-
20, TW4-21, TW4-22, TW4-24, TW4-25, TW4-37, TW4-39.
The pumping wells for both the nitrate and chloroform projects are set up with a delay device
wherein the wells purge for a set amount of time then shut off to let the well recharge. All
pumping wells include a flow meter which records the volume of water pumped from the well in
gallons. Quarterly nitrate and chloroform reports are prepared by EFR and include pump volumes
and delineation of pump capture zones based on kriged water contours.
DWMRC expects that ground water elevation contours will continue to adjust in response to the
pumping activities and discontinuance of recharge to the upper wildlife ponds.
13. EFR July 289 2021, Notice Pursuant to the Permit Part I.G.1(a)
The EFR July 28, 2021, Notice Pursuant to the Permit Part 1.G.1(a) ("Notice") discusses the
status of monitoring wells and parameters in probable out-of-compliance ("POOC") and out-of-

compliance ("00C") status, as updated through the 2nd Quarter 2021. DWMRC notes that the
Notice was submitted timely regarding currently agreed upon schedules, reporting of exceedances
within 30 days after the end of the monitoring quarter, and has been updated based on issuance of
the current modified GWDP (Issued effective March 8, 2021) in effect during the monitoring
period.
Per the Notice, one new well/parameter went into POOC or 00C status during the 2nd Quarter
2021: Semi-annual monitoring well MW-24, Total Dissolved Solids was slightly above the
GWCL in the 2nd Quarter sampling event. Based on DWMRC review of the Notice it appears that
all requirements of the Permit were met.
14. Conclusions and Recommendations
Based on DWMRC staff review of the above listed documents and review the following will be
included in a close-out and confirmatory action letter:
1. Close-out regarding DWMRC review of the EFR August 2, 2021, 2nd Quarter 2021
