RE: Additional Air Monitoring Locations, Revised Environmental Monitoring Manual,
Dawn Mining License Amendment - Public Participation Summary: Radioactive
Material License Number UT 1900479
Dear Mr. Frydenlund:
Due to comments received from the public regarding the Dawn Mining Alternate Feed
Amendment Request, the Division of Radiation Control (DRC) has inserted a new license
condition, Condition 11.9, into Energy Fuels Radioactive Material License. This condition
requires the licensee to submit a revised Environmental Monitoring Manual within sixty days
after approval of the Dawn Mining Alternate Feed Amendment including two additional air
monitoring stations.
In recent discussions with the licensee regarding the placement of the two additional air
monitoring stations, the licensee has requested the DRC provide a determination regarding the
most appropriate locations for the new air stations. As part of that request, the DRC has
reviewed the following:
1) the site wind rose data from 2004 through 2013;
2) the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Scientific Investigations Report 2011-5231 (Report); and
3) closest proximity ofthe nearest resident and potential nearest resident.
Based on this review, the DRC concurs with the licensee's proposed locations for the two new
air stations as follows: One station 0.59 miles west of BHV-1 along the North property line
(Lat: 37°33'6.69"N, Long: 109°30'5.29"W); and a second station located 0.82 miles south of
BHV-1 along the east side property line (Lat: 37°32'35.36"N, Long: 109°29'35.02"W). The
latitudinal and longitude coordinates are provided for your convenience.
