Subject: Denison Mines: Cell 48 Environmental Report - URS Round 1
Harold,
The purpose of this email is to document our discussion this morning about how the DRC will change how we get the URS
interrogatories for the Cell 48 Environmental Report (ER) to DUSA.
Previously, URS has prepared draft interrogatories for the DRC to review, and after the DRC has found them satisfactory, we have
forwarded them onto DUSA for your consideration and response. Regrettably, the DRC has experienced some delay in recent
review of the ER draft Round 1 Interrogatory due to competing priorities. We recognize the time sensitive nature of the approval
process and Denison's need to constmct Cell 48 next year, tn order help make this possible, the DRC is now willing lo modify the
process of how we get the URS interrogatories to DUSA. Essentially, this will involve the following steps and understanding by all 3
parties:
1. URS will prepare the interrogatory documents and send them to DRC staff,
2. DRC staff will then (withing 24-hours) pass them along to DUSA for consideration, writhoutany examination or review of the URS
work product.
3. DUSA will examine the interrogatory, identify those issues that can be worlted on immediately, and task the appropriate staff.
4. If there are any items In the inten-ogatory that DUSA does not understand or believes are inappropriate or Inapplicable, DUSA
will ask the DRC for a conference call to discuss them. To assist the DRC to prepare for the conference call, DUSA will provide an
email to outline the issues at hand.
5. The conference call will provide an opportunity to answer questions and hear concerns. In any matters of dispute about the
applicability or appropriateness of an inten^ogatory item, the DRC will act as a "referee" between DUSA and URS. The DRC may
ask URS staff to participate in said conference calls. In deciding an item of concern, the DRC will work to provide a decision to
DUSA in an expeditious manner. In the event that DRC staff need additional time to consider and decide a matter in dispute, the
DRC vwll respond to DUSA as quickly as possible after the conference call.
6. All correspondence. Including URS interrogatories and DUSA responses will be matters of record.
7. Both DRC and DUSA recognize that because there is no DRC evaluation or review of the URS vrork product before it goes to
DUSA, that there is a risk that some issues or concerns could surface In later rounds of interrogatory, that would othenwse have
been presented earlier.
a. In cases where certain interrogatory issues can be answered or resolved fully by reference to existing work, DUSA will provide
clear and explicit reference to said documents and explain why it is resolves the issue.
9. In subsequent rounds of interrogatory, URS will clearly identify all the resolved issues from the previous round. Generally this
will be done by accepting the DUSA response(s). In cases where an issue has been unresolved. URS will re-iterale the
interrogatory in the following round of questions.
If this process is acceptable to you. I will be happy to forward the URS Round 1 Interrogatory as it currently stands.
Please let me know what you want to do.
Loren
