Re: Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. Notification of Rescheduling of the Radon Flux
Measurements for Tailings Impoundment 2 at the White Mesa Mill
Dear Mr. Anderson:
On January 13, 2016, Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. (“EFRI”) submitted a 30 day notice
regarding a radon flux sampling event for Tailings Impoundment 2 (“Cell 2”) at the White Mesa
Mill (the “Mill”) that was scheduled to be conducted from February 15-18, 2016. However, due
to recent weather events, there is currently too much snow covering Cell 2, and therefore; EFRI
is rescheduling the sampling event. This letter serves as notification that the semi-annual
sampling event first half of 2016 for Cell 2 Radon Flux is being rescheduled from February 15-
18, 2016 to March 14-17, 2016.
As noted in the January 13, 2016 submittal, pursuant to the letter from the Utah Division of
Waste Management and Radiation Control (“DWMRC”) dated, July 23, 2014, EFRI is required
to measure radon flux at Tailings Impoundment 2 (“Cell 2”) at the White Mesa Mill (the “Mill”)
semi-annually in accordance with 40 CFR 61, Appendix B, Method 115. The measured results
will be included in the January through June 2016 Semi-Annual Effluent Report, due September
1,2016.
Tellco Environmental of Grand Junction, Colorado will perform approximately 100
measurements on the cover area of Cell 2 during the sampling event. Provided that there are no
rainouts or events that require remobilization or a delay in measurement, the sampling event is
expected to conclude on March 17, 2016.
EFRI will provide safety and radiological orientation for any DWMRC 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.
If you have any questions or require assistance, please contact me at 303-389-4167 or Mr. David
Turk, Environmental Health and Safety Manager, at 435-678-4113.
Yours very truly,
ENERGY RESOURCES (USA) INC.
