Notification of Rescheduling of NESHAPs Radon Flux Measurements for Tailings Impoundment 3 at the White Mesa Mill Dear Mr. Bird: On February 12, 2019, Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. ("EFRI") submitted a 30-day notice regarding plans to perform a sampling event for NESHAPs Radon Flux measurements for the first quarter of 2019 at Tailings Impoundment 3 at the White Mesa Mill from March 18 - 21, 2019. However, due to inclement weather, EFRI is rescheduling the sampling event. This letter serves as notification that the first quarter 2019 NESHAPs Radon Flux sampling event for Tailings Impoundment 3 is being rescheduled from March 18 - 21, 2019 to March 25 — 28, 2019. As stated in the February 12, 2019 letter, per 40 CFR 61.253, EFRI is permitted to monitor Radon Flux one or more times per year. EFRI will sample Tailings Impoundment 3 on a quarterly frequency in 2019. Tellco Environmental of Grand Junction, Colorado ("Tellco") will perform approximately 100 measurements on the beach and cover area of Tailings Impoundment 3 during the sampling event. These measurements will be performed in accordance with methods and procedures set forth in 40 CFR Part 61, Appendix B, Method 115. Provided that there are no rainouts or events that require remobilization or a delay in measurement, the sampling event for Tailings Impoundment 3 is expected to conclude on March 28, 2019. EFRI will provide safety and radiological orientation for any Utah Department of Air Quality personnel observing this event. This orientation will be required before any individual enters the Mill Restricted Area. Individuals monitoring this event should bring their own mandatory Personnel Protective Equipment as required at the Mill, specifically, safety glasses, hardhats, and steel-toed shoes.
