Bird Division Director Utah Department of Environmental Quality Air Quality Division 195 North 1950 West Salt Lake City, Utah 84116 DRC-ZO Iûo2835 Div of Waste Management and Radiation Control MAR 2 6 2019 Re: Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. Cancellation Notice for 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. On March 6, 2019 EFRI rescheduled the sampling event to March 25 — 28, 2019 due to inclement weather. This letter serves as the cancellation notice for the Tailings Impoundment 3 sampling rescheduled for March 25 — 28, 2019. Due to the continuation of inclement weather and the resultant standing water and mud EFRI cannot complete the sampling event in the first quarter of 2019. As stated in the previous letters, per 40 CFR 61.253, EFRI is permitted to monitor Radon Flux one or more times per year. In both the February 12, and March 6, 2019 letters EFRI stated that Tailings Impoundment 3 would be sampled on a quarterly frequency in 2019. However, since the first quarter sampling has been cancelled due to weather conditions beyond our control, EFRI will change the planned 2019 sampling frequency on Tailings Impoundment 3 to three times in 2019, with one sampling event in each 4-month period in 2019 (January — April, May through August, and September through December). EFRI will provide notice upon rescheduling of the Tailings Impoundment 3 event. If you have any questions or require assistance, please contact me at 303-389-4134; or Mr. Terry Slade, Radiation Safety Officer, at 435-678-4128. Yours very truly, ENERGY FUELS RESOURCES (USA) INC.
