Q3-20 DATA QUALITY REPORT FOR THE
PRIMARY TEST SECTION
WHITE MESA MILL – TAILINGS MANAGEMENT
CELL 2
ENERGY FUELS RESOURCES (USA) INC.
SAN JUAN COUNTY, UTAH
29 October 2020
1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This data quality report (DQR) was prepared to record data quality assurance for the White
Mesa Mill cover performance monitoring test section (Primary Test Section) for third
quarter 2020 (Q3-20). This report is documentary and not interpretative. The annual report
includes interpretation of the monitoring data.
The Primary Test Section was constructed in August – September 2016 over tailings
management Cell 2 at Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc.’s White Mesa Mill in San Juan
County, Utah. Hydrological monitoring was initiated on 29 September 2016. A large-scale
“ACAP” drainage lysimeter monitors the test section. The lysimeter is equipped to monitor
water balance components and meteorological data.
Fig. 1 shows a profile of the final cover being evaluated at White Mesa (minimum
thickness). Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional schematic of the lysimeter. The test section is
instrumented with two nests of vertically stacked and co-located sensors to monitor soil
temperature and soil water content, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. The nests are on the
centerline of the test section at the upper and lower third points. Probes in the lower nest
are odd numbered and probes in the upper nest are even numbered. The water content
probes were calibrated with on-site soils collected during construction. Temperature
compensation was incorporated into the calibrations.
Flows from runoff, lateral flow (interflow), and percolation collection points in the test
section are routed via pipe (Fig. 2) to collection basins in a subsurface vault downslope
from the test section. Flow into each basin is monitored by tipping buckets and a pressure
transducer. Flows reported by the tipping bucket are described in terms of “tips,” whereas
water elevations reported by the transducers are reported as “stage.” Flows are reported
in mm of water per unit area. The tipping buckets and pressure transducers were
calibrated initially in September 2016, and re-calibrated on 10 May 2017, 14 November
2017, 27 June 2018, 11 September 2019, and 14 July 2020.
2.0 WATER BALANCE DATA
Data in this DQR were collected during Q3-20 from 24 June 2020 to 18 September 2020.
These dates align with automated data downloads and do not correspond precisely to the
start and end of Q3-20. Data for 19 September 2020 and onward will be included in the
Q4-20 report.
Fig. 3 shows the water balance graph for the test sections and Table 1 summarizes the
water balance quantities. Fig. 4 shows cumulative percolation and daily precipitation for
both test sections. Figs. 5-32 show data from each sensor collected during Q3-20. The
quality assurance summary is on pp. 7-8.
Nearly 50 mm of precipitation was recorded in Q3-20, most of which was received during
two large storms, one in late July and the other in early September (Fig. 7). A trace of
runoff was transmitted (Fig. 23). No lateral flow was transmitted (Fig. 27). Precipitation
was stored in the cover profile and released by evapotranspiration (Fig. 3). Water contents
within the upper 0.5 m varied modestly in response to the large precipitation events in July
and September (Fig. 13). Water contents remained nearly constant at greater depths
(Figs. 14-19). Percolation occurred at a nearly constant rate, driven primarily by the
thermal gradient (Fig. 30).
2
3.0 CONCERNS
• Significant differences in water content exist between Probes 1 and 2 and between
Probes 3 and 4. These differences have existed since 2017 and are a response to
lateral water movement above the compacted layer associated with infiltration of
snowmelt in 2017. These differences are not a substantive concern and are
diminishing slowly. Comparison of water contents reported by these probes will
continue during future quality control activities.
4.0 ACTION ITEMS
• Continue comparing water content Probes 1 and 2 and Probes 3 and 4.
• Watch reed switches on lateral flow tipper to confirm both are functioning.

DATA QUALITY REPORT SUMMARY: Q3-20
White Mesa Primary Test Section
06/24/20 through 09/18/20
Water Balance Summary
Table 1 summarizes the water balance of the test section since inception.
Fig. 3 presents the water balance graph for the test section since inception.
Fig. 4 shows graphs of daily precipitation and cumulative percolation for the test section
since inception.
Meteorology
The battery and solar panel are working properly (Fig. 5).
All meteorological sensors are working properly (Figs. 6-12).
The on-site precipitation data are generally larger than the NWS data recorded at the
Blanding station (KBDG, 37.62° N, 109.47° W, Elev.: 6001 ft) (Fig.7). Independent
precipitation measurements recorded by the Geonor gage and the tipping bucket are
in good agreement (Fig. 8).
Solar radiation data are consistent with data recorded at the NWS Blanding station
(Fig. 12).
Test Section
The WCR probes to measure water content are functioning properly (Figs. 13-19).
Differences in water content of approximately 0.13 are reported by Probes 3 and 4 in
the compacted layer at 2134 mm bgs (Fig. 18). Differences in water content of
approximately 0.10 are reported by Probes 1 and 2 in the interim layer at 2743 mm
bgs (Fig. 19). These differences in water content are real and reflect spatial variations
in water content that remain from the deep penetration of a wetting front in Q1-17.
They have remained relatively constant over the last 9 months.
The thermocouples used to measure soil temperature are functioning properly (Fig. 20).
Flows reported by the transducer and tippers for runoff, lateral flow, and percolation
are reasonably consistent (Figs. 21-30). The reed switches on the lateral flow tipper
have not been triggered since being repaired during the annual calibration event (Fig.
25).
The vault stage has been negative, indicating no accumulating water (Fig. 31).
8
The voltage sensor that monitors the power supply in the vault is functioning properly
(Fig. 32). Intermittent power losses occurred in July (twice) and September (once).
Site personnel confirmed these losses were concurrent with brief power outages on
site.
