MEMORANDUM DRC-2014-001644
TO: File C-2014-72
THROUGH: Phil Goble, Section Manager
FROM: Russell J. Topham, P.E.
DATE: February 12,2014
SUBJECT: Engineering Module 73. Inspection of Disposal of Bulk Byproduct Material January 28,
2014. Radioactive Materials License UT1900479 (License) - Energy Fuels Resources
(USA) Inc. (EFR) White Mesa Mill, Blanding, Utah
On January 28, 2014,1 performed an inspection of in-situ leach (ISL) waste disposal operations at the
White Mesa uranium mill on behalf of the Utah Division of Radiation Control (DRC). This inspection
responds to a 1 le.(2) Byproduct Receipt Notification from EFR, dated January 6, 2014. EFR is allowed to
dispose this byproduct material in Tailings Cell 3 only, which is allowed by License Condition 10.5 of the
EFR Radioactive Materials License.
On January 6, 2014 the DRC received notice that EFR would receive twenty-one loads of 1 le.(2)
byproduct material, and intended to dispose of that waste in Cell 3 on January 28, 2014. Seven loads were
ultimately received prior to the commencement of the burial activity.
I checked in at the White Mesa mill at 7:40 a.m. on January 28, 2014 and coordinated with mill personnel
this inspection and a number of other pieces of reconnaissance other staff members had requested. Soon
thereafter I met with Mr. Garrin Palmer and Mr. David Turk, and planned the inspection activities. Mr.
Palmer and I proceeded directly to the field to commence the reconnaissance activities while crews
gathered the necessary equipment to the disposal site. At about 8:15 a.m. we commenced the disposal
operation.
Material disposed consisted of:
• Soil, with occasional incidental pieces of metal, wood or other debris from URI Incorporated in
Kingsville, Texas, shipped by Environmental Evolutions, bearing Shipper Numbers 13KVD-076
and 13KVD-084, (two loads); )
• Soil, with occasional incidental pieces of metal, wood or other debris from URI Incorporated in
Kingsville, Texas, shipped by Greenfield Logistics, bearing Shipper Numbers 13KVD-098,
13KVD-099, 13KVD-101, 14KVD-008 and 14KVD-009, (five loads);

• Drummed waste from South Texas Mining in Hobson, Texas, shipped by Cosby Trucking, bearing
Shipper Number UEC Mount (one load);
• Drummed waste and loose debris from South Texas Mining in Benavides, Texas, shipped by
Cosby Trucking, bearing Shipper Number UEC LU (one load).
The bill of lading for each of these loads appears in the attachments to this report.
The work crew executed the waste, disposal in one excavation that extended into the tailings sands. I
witnessed opening of the excavation, and saw the tailings sand brought to the surface. Solution was
exposed at approximately 12 inches below the rim of the excavation. Given the elevation of the solution, I
could not directly observe the bottom of the excavation.
Mr. Palmer and Mr. Tanner Holliday surveyed the level at the bottom of the excavation prior to waste
placement. Using a front-end loader and a small dozer, crews placed the waste in the excavations and
tamped it down to approximately one foot below the top of the excavation. Mr. Palmer then surveyed the
elevation of the top of the waste, and the crews filled the excavation to the top with soil. The crew track-
walked the capping fill to a point where it exhibited no yielding.
EFR appears compliant with Part 10.5.E.(2) ofthe RML with respect to the elevation of burial. It appeared
that all provisions of the approved disposal SOP were followed during placement and burial ofthe bulk
waste.
Finding: EFR appears to have followed applicable provisions of the RML and ofthe SOP for the burial
operation I observed.
Recommendation: I recommend closing out the inspection of January 28, 20J 4.
