Lori McDonald Jun 9, 2017 12:45 AM Posted in group: dwmrcpublic I am writing to express my concerns regarding the renewal request of the Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit No. UGW370004 by Energy Fuels Resources Inc. for the White Mesa Uranium Mill. I am particularly concerned with the condition to add License 10.8, authorizing White Mesa Uranium Mill to receive additional alternate feed from Sequoyah Fuel, Oklahoma. Energy Fuels Resources has not demonstrated that it can meet current regulations and actively cleanup its sites during operation at White Mesa. Emissions of radon exceed Clean Air Act standards. In addition, White Mesa violates regulations that limit the number of active waste pits to two. The storage conditions for the so- called “alternate feed” are particularly troubling to me, with only plastic liners separating these impoundments from important sources of drinking water, including the Percher and Navajo aquifers. As a Utahn, the nuclear legacy of our state and the American Southwest resonates greatly with me, as does the fragility and importance of our water resources. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality must act with caution to uphold and improve Utah's water resources, and I believe this is the time for prudent regulation. Therefore, I am asking the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control to reject Energy Fuels Resources Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit renewal for White Mesa Uranium Mill until such a time that White Mesa Uranium Mill demonstrates it can operate in a manner consistent with existing regulations and environmental and community health.

Jared Stewart Jun 9, 2017 9:45 AM Posted in group: dwmrcpublic I am writing to express my concerns regarding the renewal request of the Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit No. UGW370004 by Energy Fuels Resources Inc. for the White Mesa Uranium Mill. I am particularly concerned with the condition to add License 10.8, authorizing White Mesa Uranium Mill to receive additional alternate feed from Sequoyah Fuel, Oklahoma. The residents and real people who depend on clean water from the aquifer underneath the mill should be heard and something else needs to be done to protect their resources. While the mill has been safe for many years, I feel that if this permit is renewed it could lead to further danger for the ecology of the area. Energy Fuels Resources has not demonstrated that it can meet current regulations and actively cleanup its sites during operation at White Mesa. Emissions of radon exceed Clean Air Act standards. In addition, White Mesa violates regulations that limit the number of active waste pits to two. The storage conditions for the so- called “alternate feed” are particularly troubling to me, with only plastic liners separating these impoundments from important sources of drinking water, including the Percher and Navajo aquifers. As a Utahn, I understand the nuclear history of the state but respectfully urge you to consider other ways we can use our land and resources while still maintaining jobs and economic viability. Nuclear is often seen as a zero emissions form of energy but the extraction/mining, transport and then decommissioning of fuel rods is far from carbon zero. Therefore, I am asking the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control to reject Energy Fuels Resources Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit renewal for White Mesa Uranium Mill until such a time that White Mesa Uranium Mill demonstrates it can operate in a manner consistent with existing regulations and environmental and community health.

Emissions of Radon exceed Clean Air Act standards and White Mesa violates regulations that limit the number of active waste pits to two. The storage conditions of alternate feed are particularly troubling to me, with the plastic liners separating the toxic tailings impoundments from incredibly important underground sources of drinking water including Percher Aquifer and Navajo Aquifer by only a few millimeters. As a Utahn, the Nuclear legacy of our state and the American Southwest resonates greatly with me, as does the fragility and importance of our water resources. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality must act with caution to uphold and improve Utah's water resources, and I believe this is the time for prudent regulation. Therefore, I am asking the Divison of Waste Management and Radiation to reject Energy Fuels Resources Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit renewal until such a time that White Mesa Uranium Mill demonstrates it can operate in a manner consistent with existing regulations and environmental and community health.

Energy Fuels Resources has not demonstrated that it can meet current regulations and actively cleanup its sites during operation at White Mesa. Emissions of radon exceed Clean Air Act standards. In addition, White Mesa violates regulations that limit the number of active waste pits to two. The storage conditions for the so- called “alternate feed” are particularly troubling to me, with only plastic liners separating these impoundments from important sources of drinking water, including the Percher and Navajo aquifers. As a Utahn, the nuclear legacy of our state and the American Southwest resonates greatly with me, as does the fragility and importance of our water resources. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality must act with caution to uphold and improve Utah's water resources, and I believe this is the time for prudent regulation.

Doris Long Jun 9, 2017 9:45 AM Posted in group: dwmrcpublic I am writing to express my concerns regarding the renewal request of the Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit No. UGW370004 by Energy Fuels Resources Inc. for the White Mesa Uranium Mill. I am particularly concerned with the condition to add License 10.8, authorizing White Mesa Uranium Mill to receive additional alternate feed from Sequoyah Fuel, Oklahoma. Energy Fuels Resources has not demonstrated that it can meet current regulations and actively cleanup its sites during operation at White Mesa. Emissions of radon exceed Clean Air Act standards. In addition, White Mesa violates regulations that limit the number of active waste pits to two. The storage conditions for the so- called “alternate feed” are particularly troubling to me, with only plastic liners separating these impoundments from important sources of drinking water, including the Percher and Navajo aquifers. As a Utahn, the nuclear legacy of our state and the American Southwest resonates greatly with me, as does the fragility and importance of our water resources.

I am particularly concerned with the condition to add License 10.8, authorizing White Mesa Uranium Mill to receive additional alternate feed from Sequoyah Fuel, Oklahoma. The company who owns the mill, Energy Fuels Resources, has not been able to demonstrate that they are operating within the law. I believe they should be held accountable just like anyone else who does not obey the law and should not be able to continue operating until they can demonstrate that they will comply with the law. Their radon emissions are currently above the Clean Air Act standards and they currently have more active waste pits than are allowed by law. On top of this, the pits that contain toxic waste are currently only lined with plastic, which was considered sub par even in the 80s! These toxic pits sit on top of 2 aquifers that supply water for nearby communities. The pits actually sit within a perched aquifer in the Burro Canyon Formation and the water from this formation is where the Ute Mountain Ute's White Mesa Community gets their drinking water. If any radioactive toxic waste penetrates the pits, it is a known fact that it will seep into the Burro Canyon Formation and with the help of gravity, flow down where it later comes out as seeps as springs-sources of water for the nearby community. Underneath this aquifer is the Navajo Formation which is the main source of water for southeastern Utah and Northern Arizona, supplying towns like Blanding, Bluff, White Mesa, Tuba City, Hopi Villages and also seeps into the San Juan River. I believe it is completely unacceptable to put profits before the health of people and the environment. I understand that the mill supplies lots of money for San Juan County including schools, but I also believe that it is an atrocity to make students receive their education from money that is made from polluting fellow Utahns with toxic waste. I believe that Utahns are smart, creative people and are totally capable of coming up with ways of funding our children's education without putting those same children's health at risk. Health is something that I think we can all agree on is of upmost importance for our communities. I hope that you will consider the irreversible negative impact that the mill does and could have on local communities health and not let dollar signs fog your ability to see what to me is such an easy decision.

I am particularly concerned with the condition to add License 10.8, authorizing White Mesa Uranium Mill to receive additional alternate feed from Sequoyah Fuel, Oklahoma. Energy Fuels Resources has not demonstrated that it can meet current regulations and actively cleanup its sites during operation at White Mesa. Emissions of radon exceed Clean Air Act standards. In addition, White Mesa violates regulations that limit the number of active waste pits to two. The storage conditions for the so- called “alternate feed” are particularly troubling to me, with only plastic liners separating these impoundments from important sources of drinking water, including the Percher and Navajo aquifers. As a Utahn, the nuclear legacy of our state and the American Southwest resonates greatly with me, as does the fragility and importance of our water resources. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality must act with caution to uphold and improve Utah's water resources, and I believe this is the time for prudent regulation. As a downwinder during the nuclear tests in Nevada, I have seen firsthand the tragic results of failure to protect public health. Therefore, I am asking the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control to reject Energy Fuels Resources Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit renewal for White Mesa Uranium Mill until such a time that White Mesa Uranium Mill demonstrates it can operate in a manner consistent with existing regulations and environmental and community health. Thank you.

I am particularly concerned with the condition to add License 10.8, authorizing White Mesa Uranium Mill to receive additional alternate feed from Sequoyah Fuel, Oklahoma. Energy Fuels Resources has not demonstrated that it can meet current regulations and actively cleanup its sites during operation at White Mesa. Emissions of radon exceed Clean Air Act standards. In addition, White Mesa violates regulations that limit the number of active waste pits to two. The storage conditions for the so- called “alternate feed” are particularly troubling to me, with only plastic liners separating these impoundments from important sources of drinking water, including the Percher and Navajo aquifers. As a Utahn, the nuclear legacy of our state and the American Southwest resonates greatly with me, as does the fragility and importance of our water resources. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality must act with caution to uphold and improve Utah's water resources, and I believe this is the time for prudent regulation. Therefore, I am asking the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control to reject Energy Fuels Resources Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit renewal for White Mesa Uranium Mill until such a time that White Mesa Uranium Mill demonstrates it can operate in a manner consistent with existing regulations and environmental and community health.

Loraine Brandt Jun 9, 2017 2:30 PM Posted in group: dwmrcpublic I am writing to express my concerns regarding the renewal request of the Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit No. UGW370004 by Energy Fuels Resources Inc. for the White Mesa Uranium Mill. I am particularly concerned with the condition to add License 10.8, authorizing White Mesa Uranium Mill to receive additional alternate feed from Sequoyah Fuel, Oklahoma. Energy Fuels Resources has not demonstrated that it can meet current regulations and actively cleanup its sites during operation at White Mesa. Emissions of radon exceed Clean Air Act standards. In addition, White Mesa violates regulations that limit the number of active waste pits to two. The storage conditions for the so- called “alternate feed” are particularly troubling to me, with only plastic liners separating these impoundments from important sources of drinking water, including the Percher and Navajo aquifers. As a Utahn, the nuclear legacy of our state and the American Southwest resonates greatly with me, as does the fragility and importance of our water resources. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality must act with caution to uphold and improve Utah's water resources, and I believe this is the time for prudent regulation. Therefore, I am asking the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control to reject Energy Fuels Resources Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit renewal for White Mesa Uranium Mill until such a time that White Mesa Uranium Mill demonstrates it can operate in a manner consistent with existing regulations and environmental and community health. The U.S. has a stockpile of 600 TONS of Highly Enriched Uranium http://fissilematerials.org/countries/united_states.html . More Uranium should stay in the ground. Thank you.

Why not hold up the renewal until the facility is compliant with current regulations? Then consider granting only an annual renewal of the permit contingent upon full compliance with current regulations and NO increase in the amount of radiation emitted above the property, and NO increase in the amount of radioactive material onsite year over year. Energy Fuels Resources has not demonstrated that it can meet current regulations and actively cleanup its sites during operation at White Mesa. Emissions of radon exceed Clean Air Act standards. In addition, White Mesa violates regulations that limit the number of active waste pits to two. The storage conditions for the so- called “alternate feed” are particularly troubling to me, with only plastic liners separating these impoundments from important sources of drinking water, including the Percher and Navajo aquifers. As a Utahn, the nuclear legacy of our state and the American Southwest resonates greatly with me, as does the fragility and importance of our water resources. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality must act with caution to uphold and improve Utah's water resources, and I believe this is the time for prudent regulation. Therefore, I am asking the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control to reject Energy Fuels Resources Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit renewal for White Mesa Uranium Mill until such a time that White Mesa Uranium Mill demonstrates it can operate in a manner consistent with existing regulations and environmental and community health.

I am particularly concerned with the condition to add License 10.8, authorizing White Mesa Uranium Mill to receive additional alternate feed from Sequoyah Fuel, Oklahoma. Energy Fuels Resources has not demonstrated that it can meet current regulations and actively cleanup its sites during operation at White Mesa. Emissions of radon exceed Clean Air Act standards. In addition, White Mesa violates regulations that limit the number of active waste pits to two. The storage conditions for the so- called “alternate feed” are particularly troubling to me, with only plastic liners separating these impoundments from important sources of drinking water, including the Percher and Navajo aquifers. As a Utahn, the nuclear legacy of our state and the American Southwest resonates greatly with me, as does the fragility and importance of our water resources. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality must act with caution to uphold and improve Utah's water resources, and I believe this is the time for prudent regulation. Therefore, I am asking the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control to reject Energy Fuels Resources Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit renewal for White Mesa Uranium Mill until such a time that White Mesa Uranium Mill demonstrates it can operate in a manner consistent with existing regulations and environmental and community health.

I am particularly concerned with the condition to add License 10.8, authorizing White Mesa Uranium Mill to receive additional alternate feed from Sequoyah Fuel, Oklahoma. Energy Fuels Resources has not demonstrated that it can meet current regulations and actively cleanup its sites during operation at White Mesa. Emissions of radon exceed Clean Air Act standards. In addition, White Mesa violates regulations that limit the number of active waste pits to two. The storage conditions for the so- called “alternate feed” are particularly troubling to me, with only plastic liners separating these impoundments from important sources of drinking water, including the Percher and Navajo aquifers. As a Utahn, the nuclear legacy of our state and the American Southwest resonates greatly with me, as does the fragility and importance of our water resources. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality must act with caution to uphold and improve Utah's water resources, and I believe this is the time for prudent regulation. Therefore, I am asking the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control to reject Energy Fuels Resources Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit renewal for White Mesa Uranium Mill until such a time that White Mesa Uranium Mill demonstrates it can operate in a manner consistent with existing regulations and environmental and community health.

Box 144880 Salt Lake City, Utah 84114-4880 Div of Waste Management and Radiation Control 3 Dear Mr. Anderson, I am writing to express my concern about the threat that the White Mesa Uranium Mill poses to nearby communities and the environment, particularly to the groundwater that underlies the White Mesa Mill site. I am familiar with the pattern of groundwater contamination due to uranium milling activities across Northern Arizona and the Colorado Plateau, as exemplified by the Tuba City Mill, the Atlas tailings pile, and the Monticello Mill site. As an Arizona resident, I am also concerned that uranium ore milled at White Mesa is mined near the Grand Canyon and hauled 300 miles across Arizona and the Navajo Nation, putting our groundwater and our communities at risk. I am deeply concerned that the ongoing uranium mining and milling in our region will permanently contaminate surrounding groundwater and threaten Colorado Plateau communities, especially the Ute Mountain Ute tribe. Unless action is taken to implement rigorous pollution controls, White Mesa Mill could permanently contaminate the perched aquifer underlying the mill site, and threaten contamination of the deeper Navajo Aquifer. A serious cause of concern is the fact that monitoring wells penetrate both the perched aquifer and the Navajo Aquifer, and could act as contaminant pathways from the upper aquifer to the Navajo Aquifer. I urge you to address this issue by requiring the company to permanently dewater and close the legacy impoundments at the White Mesa Mill site - namely Cells 1, 2, and 3. Please exercise your full discretion as regulators by requiring the most rigorous pollution controls for the site. I do not want to see another Superfund site in the heart of the Colorado Plateau, as the region's scarce groundwater resources cannot afford to be compromised.

Box 144880 Salt Lake City, Utah Div of Waste Management and Radiation Control 84114-4880 Dear Mr. Anderson, I am writing to express my concern about the threat that the White Mesa Uranium Mill poses to nearby communities and the environment, particularly to the groundwater that underlies the White Mesa Mill site. I am familiar with the pattern of groundwater contamination due to uranium milling activities across Northern Arizona and the Colorado Plateau, as exemplified by the Tuba City Mill, the Atlas tailings pile, and the Monticello Mill site. As an Arizona resident, I am also concerned that uranium ore milled at White Mesa is mined near the Grand Canyon and hauled 300 miles across Arizona and the Navajo Nation, putting our groundwater and our communities at risk. I am deeply concerned that the ongoing uranium mining and milling in our region will permanently contaminate surrounding groundwater and threaten Colorado Plateau communities, especially the Ute Mountain Ute tribe. Unless action is taken to implement rigorous pollution controls, White Mesa Mill could permanently contaminate the perched aquifer underlying the mill site, and threaten contamination of the deeper Navajo Aquifer. A serious cause of concern is the fact that monitoring wells penetrate both the perched aquifer and the Navajo Aquifer, and could act as contaminant pathways from the upper aquifer to the Navajo Aquifer. I urge you to address this issue by requiring the company to permanently dewater and close the legacy impoundments at the White Mesa Mill site - namely Cells 1, 2, and 3. Please exercise your full discretion as regulators by requiring the most rigorous pollution controls for the site. I do not want to see another Superfund site in the heart of the Colorado Plateau, as the region's scarce groundwater resources cannot afford to be compromised.

Box 144880 Salt Lake City, Utah Div of Waste Management and Radiation Control 3 I 84114-4880 Dear Mr. Anderson, I am writing to express my concern about the threat that the White Mesa Uranium Mill poses to nearby communities and the environment, particularly to the groundwater that underlies the White Mesa Mill site. I am familiar with the pattern of groundwater contamination due to uranium milling activities across Northern Arizona and the Colorado Plateau, as exemplified by the Tuba City Mill, the Atlas tailings pile, and the Monticello Mill site. As an Arizona resident, I am also concerned that uranium ore milled at White Mesa is mined near the Grand Canyon and hauled 300 miles across Arizona and the.Navajo Nation, putting our groundwater and our communities at risk. I am deeply concerned that the ongoing uranium mining and milling in our region will permanently contaminate surrounding groundwater and threaten Colorado Plateau communities, especially the Ute Mountain Ute tribe. Unless action is taken to implement rigorous pollution controls, White Mesa Mill could permanently contaminate the perched aquifer underlying the mill site, and threaten contamination of the deeper Navajo Aquifer. A serious cause of concern is the fact that monitoring wells penetrate both the perched aquifer and the Navajo Aquifer, and could act as contaminant pathways from the upper aquifer to the Navajo Aquifer. I urge you to address this issue by requiring the company to permanently dewater and close the legacy impoundments at the White Mesa Mill site - namely Cells 1, 2, and 3.

The draft license/permit should: 1. Demand a surety bond that guarantees the mill’s owner, not taxpayers, will fund the mill’s cleanup, whatever the cost. 2. Set firm deadlines for each step in cleaning-up the mill that are clear and enforceable to prevent delay and ensure the public gets to weigh in before deadlines are extended. 3. Reject all proposals to run Sequoyah Fuels’ radioactive sludge through the mill and bury the resulting waste at the White Mesa mill site. That's just crazy! Please protect our environment for future generations.

Uranium milling poses radioactive and toxic threats that the division should make every effort to forestall. Yet in several ways, the proposed license needlessly puts the public and the environment at risk. If the division chooses to renew the license, it should at the very least: • Demand a surety bond that guarantees the mill’s owner, not taxpayers, will fund the mill’s cleanup, whatever the cost. • Set deadlines for each step in cleaning up the mill that are clear and enforceable to prevent delay and ensure the public gets to weigh in before deadlines are extended. • Reject the proposal to run Sequoyah Fuels’ radioactive sludge through the mill and bury the resulting waste at White Mesa. The White Mesa community of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is just a few miles from the mill, and Blanding and Bluff only a little farther. Any pollution that results from an inadequate license will disproportionately burden these small tribal and rural communities and threaten the health and well-being of generations of Utahns to come. The toxic legacy of poorly reclaimed uranium mills already afflicts southeast Utah. If the division lets the White Mesa Mill add to that legacy by setting up the mill’s owner to leave taxpayers with a multi-million dollar cleanup bill, it would be failing not only southeast Utah, but also the public at large. The division has an opportunity to improve the license to avoid those calamities, and I urge you to seize it.

Uranium milling poses radioactive and toxic threats that the division should make every effort to forestall.

Just exactly where do you and your loved ones get their clean drinking water, breathable air and travel on Utah roads without being bullied or run off the road by giant uranium trucks? Uranium milling poses radioactive and unjustifiable toxic threats that the division should make every effort to forestall. Yet in several ways, the proposed license needlessly and egregiously puts the public and the environment at risk. If the division chooses to renew the license, it should at the very least: • Demand a surety bond that guarantees the mill’s owner, not taxpayers, will fund the mill’s cleanup, whatever the cost. Just look at West Virginia as an example of what NOT to do. • Set enforceable deadlines for each step in cleaning up the mill that are clear and enforceable to prevent delay and ensure the public gets to weigh in before deadlines are extended. • Absolutely and total reject the proposal to run Sequoyah Fuels’ radioactive sludge through the mill and bury the resulting waste at White Mesa. The White Mesa community of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is just a few miles from the mill, and Blanding and Bluff only a little farther. Any pollution that results from an inadequate license will disproportionately burden these small tribal and rural communities and threaten the health and well-being of generations of Utahns to come. I've heard those in the Trump administration say that if these kind of things kill a few more Indians, so be it. WE don't feel that way at all. The toxic legacy of poorly reclaimed uranium mills already afflicts southeast Utah.

Uranium milling poses radioactive and toxic threats that the division should make every effort to forestall. Yet in several ways, the proposed license needlessly puts the public and the environment at risk. If the division chooses to renew the license, it should at the very least: • Demand a surety bond that guarantees the mill’s owner, not taxpayers, will fund the mill’s cleanup, whatever the cost. • Set deadlines for each step in cleaning up the mill that are clear and enforceable to prevent delay and ensure the public gets to weigh in before deadlines are extended. • Reject the proposal to run Sequoyah Fuels’ radioactive sludge through the mill and bury the resulting waste at White Mesa. The White Mesa community of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is just a few miles from the mill, and Blanding and Bluff only a little farther. Any pollution that results from an inadequate license will disproportionately burden these small tribal and rural communities and threaten the health and well-being of generations of Utahns to come. The toxic legacy of poorly reclaimed uranium mills already afflicts southeast Utah.

As the Director of the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control, you Scott Anderson, can make the difference in what appears to be a terrible health risk and potential blight upon the state of Utah. Our state has a history of abuse of it's citizens from nuclear testing. Let's avoid another example of our carelessness with human life, and in particular the life of native people. Uranium milling poses radioactive and toxic threats that the division should make every effort to forestall. White Mesa Mill, the only remaining uranium mill in the country has through the loop holes of regulation become a de facto toxic waste storage site. You must know, that there are materials too "hot" for storage at the Energy Solution low-level storage site, that have come to the White Mesa Mill for processing as "alternate feed" sources. The residues of these materials post milling, are then "stored" as tailings! This endangers the ground water, and all the life that depends on it and further risks the aquifers below, and the extensive populations that depend on them. We should not tolerate this risk and danger in Utah. I believe this is your job through adequate regulations and enforcement to ensure our safety. A deep review of the Mill is in order. The records of ground water quality should be reviewed to see the effects of the three legacy tailings cells as they degrade. Installed in the early 1980's, they were built to last twenty years. Now thirty-seven years later they are leaking acidic plumes into the ground water. What would need to happen to get the Division to investigate and do a significant review? What liability will the State of Utah have at that point? The proposed license needlessly puts the public and the environment at risk. If the division chooses to renew the license, it should at the very least: • Demand a surety bond that guarantees the mill’s owner, not taxpayers, will fund the mill’s cleanup, whatever the cost. Current sure of approximately $20 million is totally inadequate. • Set deadlines for each step in cleaning up the mill that are clear and enforceable to prevent delay and ensure the public gets to weigh in before deadlines are extended. • Reject the proposal to run Sequoyah Fuels’ radioactive sludge through the mill and bury the resulting waste at White Mesa. The White Mesa community of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is just a few miles from the mill, and Blanding and Bluff only a little farther. Any pollution that results from an inadequate license will disproportionately burden these small tribal and rural communities and threaten the health and well-being of generations of Utahns to come.

Uranium milling poses radioactive and toxic threats that the division should make every effort to forestall. Yet in several ways, the proposed license needlessly puts the public and the environment at risk. If the division chooses to renew the license, it should at the very least: • Demand a surety bond that guarantees the mill’s owner, not taxpayers, will fund the mill’s cleanup, whatever the cost. • Set deadlines for each step in cleaning up the mill that are clear and enforceable to prevent delay and ensure the public gets to weigh in before deadlines are extended. • Reject the proposal to run Sequoyah Fuels’ radioactive sludge through the mill and bury the resulting waste at White Mesa. The White Mesa community of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is just a few miles from the mill, and Blanding and Bluff only a little farther. Any pollution that results from an inadequate license will disproportionately burden these small tribal and rural communities and threaten the health and well-being of generations of Utahns to come. The toxic legacy of poorly reclaimed uranium mills already afflicts southeast Utah.

Ute and Navajo people have lived just fine in the west without a mill economy for much much longer than the mill has been here. Second, isn't the desert west already damaged enough from nuclear detonations and hazardous waste? In just 1951 we dropped a 1 kiloton bomb on our own soil, while the Japanese city of Hiroshima was obliterated by a 15 kiloton only six years prior. Many more have been dropped in Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. These four states account for 45 of the United State's 59 National Parks. Let's keep them beautiful, and healthy.

Uranium milling poses radioactive and toxic threats that the division should make every effort to forestall. Yet in several ways, the proposed license needlessly puts the public and the environment at risk. If the division chooses to renew the license, it should at the very least: • Demand a surety bond that guarantees the mill’s owner, not taxpayers, will fund the mill’s cleanup, whatever the cost. • Set deadlines for each step in cleaning up the mill that are clear and enforceable to prevent delay and ensure the public gets to weigh in before deadlines are extended. • Reject the proposal to run Sequoyah Fuels’ radioactive sludge through the mill and bury the resulting waste at White Mesa. The White Mesa community of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is just a few miles from the mill, and Blanding and Bluff only a little farther. Any pollution that results from an inadequate license will disproportionately burden these small tribal and rural communities and threaten the health and well-being of generations of Utahns to come. The toxic legacy of poorly reclaimed uranium mills already afflicts southeast Utah. If the division lets the White Mesa Mill add to that legacy by setting up the mill’s owner to leave taxpayers with a multi-million dollar cleanup bill, it would be failing not only southeast Utah, but also the public at large.

The federal government does not have viable plans for transporting, managing or storing waste or cleaning up after an accident. It is needlessly dangerous to increase the amount of waste before the long-term problems of handling the waste are solved. Please don't exacerbate the problems that we already have. I’m deeply troubled by the Utah Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control’s plan to renew and revise the radioactive materials license for the White Mesa Mill. Uranium milling poses radioactive and toxic threats that the division should make every effort to forestall. Yet in several ways, the proposed license needlessly puts the public and the environment at risk. The license should not be renewed. If the division chooses to renew the license, it should at the very least, and even these provisions are not really adequate protection for public health and safety, not to mention public and private property: • Demand a surety bond that guarantees the mill’s owner, not taxpayers, will fund the mill’s cleanup, whatever the cost. • Set deadlines for each step in cleaning up the mill that are clear and enforceable to prevent delay and ensure the public gets to weigh in before deadlines are extended. • Reject the proposal to run Sequoyah Fuels’ radioactive sludge through the mill and bury the resulting waste at White Mesa.

If the division chooses to renew the license, it should at the very least: • Demand a surety bond that guarantees the mill’s owner, not taxpayers, will fund the mill’s cleanup, whatever the cost. • Set deadlines for each step in cleaning up the mill that are clear and enforceable to prevent delay and ensure the public gets to weigh in before deadlines are extended. • Reject the proposal to run Sequoyah Fuels’ radioactive sludge through the mill and bury the resulting waste at White Mesa. The White Mesa community of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is just a few miles from the mill, and Blanding and Bluff only a little farther.

Uranium milling poses radioactive and toxic threats that the division should make every effort to forestall. Yet in several ways, the proposed license needlessly puts the public and the environment at risk. If the division chooses to renew the license, it should at the very least: • Demand a surety bond that guarantees the mill’s owner, not taxpayers, will fund the mill’s cleanup, whatever the cost. • Set deadlines for each step in cleaning up the mill that are clear and enforceable to prevent delay and ensure the public gets to weigh in before deadlines are extended. • Reject the proposal to run Sequoyah Fuels’ radioactive sludge through the mill and bury the resulting waste at White Mesa. The White Mesa community of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is just a few miles from the mill, and Blanding and Bluff only a little farther. Any pollution that results from an inadequate license will disproportionately burden these small tribal and rural communities and threaten the health and well-being of generations of Utahns to come. The toxic legacy of poorly reclaimed uranium mills already afflicts southeast Utah.

There is no way this is a safe processing mill. Uranium milling poses radioactive and toxic threats that the Division should make every effort to prevent since the State of Utah almost certainly doesn't have the resources to clean up spills, leaks and discharge. But the proposed license needlessly puts the public and the environment at risk. If the Division makes the mistake of renewing the license, it should at the very least: • Demand a surety bond that guarantees White Mesa's owner, not taxpayers, will fund the mill’s cleanup, whatever the cost. This is only fair, since W. M. is making the profits. • Set clear and enforceable deadlines for each step in cleaning up the mill to prevent delay and ensure the public gets to weigh in before deadlines are extended. • Reject the proposal to run Sequoyah Fuels’ radioactive sludge through the mill and bury the resulting waste at White Mesa. The White Mesa community of the Ute Mountain Tribe is just a few miles from the mill, and the towns of Blanding and Bluff only a little farther. Any pollution that results from an inadequate license issued by your Division will disproportionately burden these small tribal and rural communities and threaten the health and well-being of generations of Utahns to come. The toxic legacy of poorly reclaimed uranium mills already afflicts southeast Utah. If the division lets the White Mesa Mill add to that legacy by allowing the mill’s owner to leave taxpayers with a multi-million dollar cleanup bill, it would be failing not only southeast Utah, but also the public at large. And that will be your fault. The Division has an opportunity to either block or issue an improved license to avoid those expensive calamities, and I urge you to seize it and do the right thing for our state's residents today and in the future.

Uranium milling poses radioactive and toxic threats that your Division should make every effort to mitigate. However, the proposed license appears to put the public and the environment at increased risk. If the Division chooses to renew the license, it should at a minimum: • Demand a surety bond that guarantees the mill’s owner, not taxpayers, will fund the mill’s cleanup, whatever the cost. • Set deadlines for each step in cleaning up the mill that are clear and enforceable to prevent delay, and to ensure that the public is able to participate in the process before deadlines are extended. • Reject the proposal to run Sequoyah Fuels’ radioactive sludge through the mill and bury the resulting waste at White Mesa. The White Mesa community of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is just a few miles from the mill, and Blanding and Bluff are only a little farther away. Any pollution that results from an inadequate license will disproportionately burden these small tribal and rural communities and threaten the health and well-being of future generations of Utahns. The toxic legacy of poorly reclaimed uranium mills already afflicts southeast Utah. I hope that the Division does not allow the White Mesa Mill to add to that unfortunate legacy by arranging for the mill’s owner to stick taxpayers with a multi-million dollar cleanup bill because that would be seriously impact not only southeast Utah, but also the American public at large. The Division has an opportunity to improve this particular license to avoid these further negative impacts, and I urge you to seize it. Thank you for taking the most appropriate action to protect the human environment.

Uranium milling poses radioactive and toxic threats that the division should make every effort to forestall. Yet in several ways, the proposed license needlessly puts the public and the environment at risk. If the division chooses to renew the license, it should at the very least: • Demand a surety bond that guarantees the mill’s owner, not taxpayers, will fund the mill’s cleanup, whatever the cost. • Set deadlines for each step in cleaning up the mill that are clear and enforceable to prevent delay and ensure the public gets to weigh in before deadlines are extended. • Reject the proposal to run Sequoyah Fuels’ radioactive sludge through the mill and bury the resulting waste at White Mesa. The White Mesa community of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is just a few miles from the mill, and Blanding and Bluff only a little farther. Any pollution that results from an inadequate license will disproportionately burden these small tribal and rural communities and threaten the health and well-being of generations of Utahns to come.

The White Mesa community of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is just a few miles from the mill, and Blanding and Bluff only a little farther. Any pollution that results from an inadequate license will disproportionately burden these small tribal and rural communities and threaten the health and well-being of generations of Utahns to come. The toxic legacy of poorly reclaimed uranium mills already afflicts southeast Utah. If the division lets the White Mesa Mill add to that legacy by setting up the mill’s owner to leave taxpayers with a multi-million dollar cleanup bill, it would be failing not only southeast Utah, but also the public at large. The division has an opportunity to improve the license to avoid those calamities, and I urge you to seize it.

The division should make every effort in license renewal to reduce the risk to the public health and taxpayers. A surety bond must be required to guarantee that the owner of the mill will fully fund the cleanup costs of the mill - the taxpayers must not be left on the hook for the bill when Energy Fuels folds or walks away, as so often happens with uranium operations. Firm and enforceable deadlines must be established for mill cleanup, and the public must have the opportunity to comment before deadlines are extended, if indeed they are. I urge you to reject the proposal to process Sequoyah Fules' sludge in the mill and to bury the waste on site. Though it is not a waste dump, the White Mesa Mill has been functioning as such, and this practice must stop. The White Mesa Ute Community will bear the heaviest consequences resulting from an insufficient license, and your agency has this opportunity to improve the license - please take the opportunity now to improve the future for southeast Utah residents and for the taxpayer.

As the last conventional uranium mill still operating in the United States, the White Mesa Mill brings undue risks to surrounding communities, including Bluff, in the form of increased radon emissions and the potential for toxic and/or radioactive contamination in the groundwater. If the mill is allowed to continue operating, the state of Utah must ensure that the highest standards are in place for protecting nearby communities and environmental resources. Any license renewal should at the very least: • Demand a surety bond that guarantees the mill’s owner, not taxpayers, will fund the mill’s cleanup, whatever the cost. • Set deadlines for each step in cleaning up the mill that are clear and enforceable to prevent delay and ensure the public gets to weigh in before deadlines are extended. • Add groundwater monitoring systems that will detect a leak from outdated tailing's pond liners before a plume is allowed to spread through the groundwater. • Enforce any violations of the Clean Air Act for excessive radon emissions. • Reject the proposal to run Sequoyah Fuels’ radioactive sludge through the mill and bury the resulting waste at White Mesa • Develop a plan to reassure local communities such as Bluff which are along the transport route to White Mesa Mill, including by: • Collecting baseline soil and water data of the transportation corridor necessary in the event of a spill/accident and subsequent monitoring. • Assisting Bluff and White Mesa in developing a proper EMS/emergency response plan in the event of a spill. • Requireing Energy Fuels to immediately notify communities along the transport route of any and all spills. The Utah Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control plays a key role in protecting the public from the harmful effects of radioactive materials. Please ensure that you're doing everything within your power to protect the people and resources of southeast Utah.

The Mill sits above the Sandstone Aquifer which provides drinking water to the surrounding communities, and if contaminated will cause irreparable harm to the groundwater. The Mill releases toxic radon gas and other emissions, which are harmful to public health. By accepting alternate feed and uranium ore from several sites around the country, the Mill creates an extreme transportation hazard that exacerbates the risk of contamination and adverse health impacts nationally. The amount of waste accepted and produced by the Mill creates an undue burden upon the local residents and indigenous people that will remain radioactive and dangerous for many generations. Looking at the history of mill sites in this region, including those in Churchrock and Shiprock, New Mexico and in Tuba City and Mexican Hat, Arizona, all of which remain contaminated to this day; the Southwest suffers the impacts from these Mills decades after they operated. If White Mesa Mill is allowed to continue, the future environmental quality of this site is just as uncertain as those which are not being properly cleaned up and will continue to pose threats of environmental contamination and public health impacts. Let’s learn from the effects of past uranium mining and milling that caused 1000’s of contaminated sites across the country and focus on preventing further contamination to our land, air, and water.

Looking at the history of mill sites in this region, including those in Churchrock and Shiprock, Mexico and in Tuba City and Mexican Hat, Arizona, all of which remain contaminated to this day; the Southwest suffers the impacts from these Mills decades after they operated. If White Mesa Mill is allowed to continue, the future environmental quality of this site is just as uncertain as those which are not being properly cleaned up and will continue to pose threats of environmental contamination and public health impacts.

Underground mining and the serious health problems related to same cannot be used to evaluate health risks encountered in surface operations. I worked in the uranium business for more than forty years, 20 years Uravan Mill, 5 years UCC Gas Hills Mill, Wyoming and ten years White Mesa Mill. Then five years on MRAP, Monticello and six months preparing a reclamation proposal for Moab. The gentleman questioning the WMM Reclamation Bond was using some very wild numbers that are not relevant for White Mesa. White Mesa was built with containment and final reclamation planned in advance. Borrow material was stockpiled and topsoil separated when the cells were excavated. The tailings will not need to be relocated and a large area has already been partially closed greatly reducing the potential for windblown material. The other uranium mills were built without consideration for the environment with the number one goal to win the Nuclear arms race. I have never seen any study that shows an increased health risk for uranium workers over any other type of career. UCC had the University of Colorado run a complete epidemiology study of every person to live in Uravan and found the population to be healthier than the national average. This group included the underground miners that were high risk. I started working in the mill in 1958 and shortly thereafter the Company had Dr. Saccomano come to the mill and discuss the trend that they were seeing in the miners. Ventilation was improved and cigarette smoking was prohibited. Dry drilling was stopped and dust minimized. Radon needs a carrier to imbed in the lungs and smoking was a huge contributor. Powder smoke and diesel fumes were also potential carriers. Over many years it became evident if you did not smoke underground you were not a high risk for cancer. In our family we have over 125 years of mill work and no lung cancer. No one in the family mined. When we cleaned the Monticello site there was very little contamination below the tailings. Samples of the underlying soils did not indicate that the solution had penetrated to any depth. I think that Moab will show the same thing. I have many close friends from the Navajo Nation and most of them appreciate the opportunity to have jobs and provide for their families. Regretfully we have people on both sides that prefer to sit on their butts do nothing and complain. Our country needs the White Mesa Mill because it is the only one left and will be a vital asset in my opinion when we need the uranium and vanadium someday.

I was here when it opened up and I had my brother and ex husband work there back then when it was going full force. Now my Son and my Son-in-law work there are self sufficient and doing great. I have no worries about it contamination through the water or soil. I believe that the company and employees have been taught and has work hard from it not getting out. Also I know the driller that has drilled the holes for the mill and he is a very good source of the land around this area. The Mill has supported Blanding and if they the Tribe doesn't know they have also helped White Mesa Tribe. Please as a citizen of Blanding renew the White Mesa Mill.

The huge amount ($250 million) that taxpayers had, unfairly, to pay for a cleanup effort at Monticello was as nothing by comparison to the destruction of health --cancers, respiratory problems, reproductive issues, allergies and birth defects– visited upon the area by a greedy industry. Living in Oklahoma, a state that has also suffered a lot of uranium contamination from various projects (U-238 in weapons at US Army ammunition plant, uranium enrichment plant that contaminated pristine area, etc.) I wish to be included among those who demand that the White Mesa Mill area in Utah be cleaned up by the company that has so terribly despoiled air and water qyality of the surroundings and harmed the health of its nearby residents. How dare anyone in Utah government allow any further costs be borne by anyone besides the companies doing the damage?! American taxpayers tire of subsidizing companies like Energy Fuels, which must absolutely be held accountable and liable for the terrible messes they make. Utah state regulators should, AT THE LEAST, NOT renew the license of White Mesa Mill and require Energy Fuels to post a substantial bond to guarantee that the company pay for rigorous cleanup there. I believe Energy Fuels should also pay for the healthcare, far into the future, of those whose health has been and is being ruined. B.

As a one-time resident of Colorado and still avid outdoorsman in Utah, it would be a shame to see a regulatory process devoid of the long and largely negative history of minerals processing, particularly uranium, in the arid west. Years ago, when I ran a geochemistry lab for the USGS investigating ground and surface water contamination associated with mining, I helped document the enormous mistakes of the minerals industry. I worked on acid mine drainage in Telluride, silver mining in Arizona, uranium mining at the Homestake Mine in Colorado, and uranium tailings in both Colorado and Utah. Here’s my point: the chemistry of minerals processing is actually pretty simple, yet the careless migration of highly toxic waste waters from poorly incentivized milling operations is more complex — and I trust you know, often a public health hazard and expensive to clean up. If you’re going to reauthorize the mill, fine. We need uranium and vanadium. But don’t shirk on the regulatory framework, especially bonding. Current bonding levels are a joke, and any argument to the contrary is at our children's expense. The experience, science and costs are all worked out on restricting future deaths from poorly managed uranium milling and tailings. Incentivize the mine with a real-world bonding level so they spend far, far less money up front and do it right.

Box 144880 Salt Lake City, UT 84114-4850 dwmrcpublic@utah.gov Subject: Public Comment on White Mesa RML Renewal July 28, 2017 Dear Mr. Anderson: Friends of Cedar Mesa writes to submit formal comment on the proposed Radioactive Materials License renewal, Ground Water Discharge Permit renewal, Reclamation Plan 5.1 approval, and approval of License Condition 10.8 for the White Mesa Uranium Mill operated by Energy Fuels in San Juan County, Utah. Friends of Cedar Mesa (FCM) is a non-profit that works to ensure that the public lands in San Juan County, with all their cultural, natural and recreational values, are protected and respected. Since we were founded in 2010, we have followed local concerns about the White Mesa Uranium Mill, located just 19 miles north of our office in Bluff, Utah. Many of our staff, board and supporters live in the vicinity of the Mill, depend on clean air for our health, rely on the Navajo Aquifer for safe drinking water, and recreate on the public lands in the vicinity of the Mill. We would like to raise several concerns with the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control, including the long-term threats to natural resources because of radiation contamination through transport, storage and disposal at the Mill, potential short and long-term irreversible impacts to local water supplies, air quality concerns based on recent elevated radon emissions, and consultation shortcomings with the Mill’s closest neighbor, the White Mesa Ute community. Many of our concerns are submitted in reference to Utah Admin Code R313-22-33(d) which requires that “the issuance of the license will not be inimical to the health and safety of the public”. In order to ensure that operations and post closure impacts of the Mill are “not inimical” to public health, the Division should require a) an updated reclamation plan that includes deadlines and stronger dust control measures; b) monitoring plans for the transport route; c) a stronger response plan that is inclusive of the White Mesa community and d) better consultation with the White Mesa Ute community of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. Additionally, FCM recommends that the Division deny License Condition 10.8 that would bring additional alternative feed sources to the Mill for processing. As history has shown time and again, activities that involve mining, transporting, milling, and storing uranium are inherently unsafe. When it comes to uranium and the possibility of human error, the magnitude of risks outweighs any short-term economic benefits. There is a reason White Mesa is the only conventional mill operating in the country: other communities have decided the risks to natural resources, human health, and public lands are unacceptable. Planning for the storage of toxic alternative feed and radioactive waste – in perpetuity Around the country, people are desperately looking for places to dispose their radioactive wastes and store uranium ore while the market is stagnant. Three new tailings sources are proposed with this license renewal: that’s more throughput, more transportation, and more room for human error. We don’t feel confident that the White Mesa Mill is prepared to store more waste when there are already signs of environmental contamination 2 and the reclamation plan and surety are insufficient. Uranium superfund sites across the Four Corners point to cases of much higher reclamation costs, borne by the tax payer because insufficient bonds were posted. Waste disposed at the Mill will affect our natural environment fifty, two hundred and a thousand years down the line. Because the mill is a phased disposal facility, the number of active tailings piles/cells is limited by 40 C.F.R. § 61.252(b)(1), and cells no longer in use must be immediately dewatered and covered to limit emissions. The cells at the Mill have a short life span and were not designed for phased disposal. Cells 2 & 3 are not being “immediately covered” as is required by law. These problematic cells are causing water and air quality impacts to neighboring communities and wildlife, which we address below. Long-term water quality degradation is likely During the life of the Mill up to 2013, the state has cited operators for 28 violations of water quality regulations. This does not include recent transport spills and the contamination plumes detected by the Ute Mountain Ute tribe. Groundwater contamination isn’t a question of if, it’s a question of when. FCM is deeply concerned about the downstream communities, like Bluff and White Mesa, who could suffer long-term degradation to their water supply. The impermeable layer protecting the drinking water in the Navajo Aquifer has been breached in several locations and could eventually be contaminated with radioactive materials and heavy metals leaving the mill boundary, affecting future generations of residents in Bluff, White Mesa, and other communities like White Rocks and Montezuma Creek that often transport water from the Bluff area. The liners in Cells 1-3 are twenty years past their expected life. When part of the Cell 1 liner was replaced in response to a leak, many visible cracks in the 30 mm liner were observed. Additionally, data from the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe shows Monitoring Well 22 has yielded results of acidic water with the same heavy metals that are in the tailings. And according to a handout circulated by the Division at the June 15th public meeting, “monitoring wells show that ground water contamination is contained within the mill site boundary.” These threats are real. Is it realistic to believe radioactive and toxic materials will remain within an artificially-imposed boundary of the mill property in the short, medium and long-term future? Short term threats to water quality threaten the White Mesa community A USGS report found that the White Mesa Ute water supply is locally recharged by nearby sources and precipitation, which includes “artificial recharge of seepage from constructed wildlife refuge ponds near the mill.” Naftz, D.L., Ranalli, A.J., Rowland, R.C., and Marston, T.M., 2011, Assessment of potential migration of radionuclides and trace elements from the White Mesa uranium mill to the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation and surrounding areas, Southeastern Utah: U.S. Geological Survey Science Investigations Report 2011–5231. These ponds have been contaminated, suggesting that blown dust from cells at the Mill is contaminating outside water supplies. Additionally, water samples from the Entrance Spring monitoring well have had higher- than-background-levels of uranium, vanadium and selenium than other monitored wells. This is gravely concerning to the citizens of White Mesa. There is evidence that cell liners are expired and cracking. The USGS report suggests that contaminated dust is reaching water supplies outside the Mill boundary. And the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe has found off-site groundwater contamination through their monitoring. The Mill needs a stronger response to this very real threat. The first step for the Division should be requiring Energy Fuels, in conjunction with the Division, to consult with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe’s Environmental Program to compare data in order to plan more a robust monitoring network and consider solutions like replacing liners. Monitoring & prevention of impacts to human health from radon is insufficient Another natural resource concern of ours is the distribution of radon-222 gas, a carcinogenic air pollutant that readily attaches to airborne dust. According to the EPA, there is no safe level of radon exposure, and they impose emissions standards to protect the public. Energy Fuels reported that radon emissions from the Mill exceeded hazardous air pollutant standards in 2012 and 2013 and according to Uranium Watch, Cells 1, 3, 4A and 4B continue to emit high levels of radon. Cell 2 again measured radon levels above the legal limit in 2014. This means radon emissions from dewatered cells and active cells are not being sufficiently controlled. We encourage the Division to go above and beyond state and federal statutes in requiring at least biannual radon emissions monitoring from all the cells at the Mill through use and closure. This includes Cells 2 & 3, 3 which are dewatered and used for dry waste disposal, since radon is most easily transported through dry materials. Since these cells are not yet covered, high emissions rates seem all the more likely. If radon is not being blown into communities within the 25-mile radius like Bluff, Blanding and White Mesa, though we suspect it can be, it is certainly being carried along the transport route by vehicles heading to the Mill and vehicles passing the Mill that collect dust on the way. FCM remains concerned that radon is travelling to and impacting the air quality of these communities. We are unconvinced that the current reclamation plan and reclamation status of Cells 2&3 are preventing unsafe radon emissions. The proposed Reclamation 5.1 plan does not impose fast enough deadlines or solve long-term disposal problem in a way that will protect human health. We encourage the Division to require updated reclamation plan before the license and permit are approved. The community most adversely impacted by the mill benefits the least and was consulted the least Everything about the White Mesa Uranium Mill has been discriminatory against the White Mesa Ute community of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe: its location, its employment, its public comment process, and its environmental impacts. For example, the White Mesa community was excluded from meaningful participation when the Division decided to host public hearings in Salt Lake City and Blanding, but not in the community just 5 miles from the mill and the most immediately downstream. There is no reason why the Division can’t go above and beyond consultation requirements to ensure that the perspectives and data of the closest community are heard. To make matters worse, White Mesa community members were told at the June 2017 Salt Lake City public hearing that crisis procedures for the mill would not notify officials or community leaders in White Mesa in the event of an incident. This is compounded by a testimony by White Mesa Ute Community Member Yolanda Badback who shared that when up to 5 gallons of radioactive material spilled on Highway 191 recently, the community was not immediately notified. If the approved emergency response plan for the Mill does not notify the White Mesa Ute community, this plan must be changed to include notification for White Mesa. The White Mesa Ute community has said that they want to stay in their homes and continue to raise their children and grandchildren in White Mesa. The Division must consider the future generations of White Mesa tribal members when they decide whether the likelihood and occurrence of cancerous dust and contaminated water is acceptable and truly “inimical to public health.” Additional concerns about the mischaracterization of uranium development in San Juan County We strongly encourage the Division to cast aside any arguments supporting the license and permit renewal, and approval of license 10.8, that are argued based on political misrepresentations of extractive industries in San Juan County, Utah. In response to Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke’s review of the Bears Ears National Monument in San Juan County, the State Legislature’s Commission for Stewardship of Public Lands claimed that the Bears Ears Monument will permanently eliminate extractive industries like uranium mining, even though the Daneros mine, proposed for expansion, was deliberately left outside the monument. They further claimed that the Bears Ears landscape is essential to America’s energy independence. There is no validity to the claims that the monument will disrupt access to uranium and hinder energy independence. Significant amounts of uranium ore are stockpiled at the mill, Energy Fuels is looking to access uranium ore from the Canyon Mine in Arizona, the Daneros Mine was unaffected by the monument designation, and many valid uranium claims exist outside the monument (for example in Lisbon Valley) where ore would not even need to be transported through the Monument. Finally, most of the uranium the Mill has processed in the past went to international buyers. Energy independence and the future of nuclear energy in the country should have no weight in the consideration of this license and permit renewal. National security, while an important issue if it were indeed threatened, has no bearing on whether or not the Mill can operate safely. The State should be assessing risk, compliance, and public comment. What should be the deciding factor for the future of the mill is whether it can be operated safely for the health of present and future generations. 4 Recommendations to protect public health and environmental quality Let’s consider the facts: the Mill has had self-reported radon violations under the Clean Air Act; transport to the Mill has led to radioactive spills; the liners of select cells are years past their expiration date and are sitting on top of a critical water supply; groundwater monitoring by the Ute Mountain Tribe shows contamination from the tailings outside the Mill boundaries; the Mill is most adversely affecting the community it serves and employs the least, White Mesa; and it has been operating without an active permit for years. Many of our concerns are compounded by the fact that the state has not been expeditious in renewing the license, which has allowed Energy Fuels to be in grace period for far too long. How can we feel reassured that the state will do a good job monitoring and holding Energy Fuels accountable to safety standards, the reclamation plan, mill operating plans, and environmental quality standards if they let the permit and license slide? The radioactive materials license should only be renewed with the condition that Reclamation Plan 5.1 is updated so that active reclamation can begin, with deadlines, and Subpart W standards for active tailings facilities are followed. The groundwater discharge permit should be renewed only with increased monitoring and attention given to the data provided by the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. We recommend the Division consider the Ute Mountain Ute’s specific request to add other wells as compliance wells. These should be the first of many steps towards increased consultation with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. Given the state of the Mill and issues with radon, dust, and the absence of a strong reclamation plan, we recommend that License Condition 10.8 that would allow the processing of alternative feed from Sequoyah Fuels in Oklahoma be denied. We appreciate your consideration of all the impacts and community concerns about the White Mesa Uranium Mill in making your final decision on the license and permit renewal.

I am writing to comment on the Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit for the White Mesa Uranium Mill site. I am voicing a disapproval for renewal on this permit. There is pollution, human, and animal health risks that are not worth the energy processing. Not for our state and residents who will forever be committed to upkeep energy intensive care systems used for toxic waste. There's also a potential contamination of the surrounding environment from these toxins. The monetary benefits of the mill does not outweigh the major cons for this area. Please look out for future area health which would provide a clean place to live free from the radon and heavy metal contamination.

Box 144880 Salt Lake City, UT 84114-4880 July 31, 2017 Mr. Anderson, I am writing you to express my concern with the renewal of 11e.(2) Byproduct Radioactive Material License (RML UT1900479) and the Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit (Permit UGW370004) for the White Mesa uranium mill in southeastern Utah, owned and operated by Energy Fuels Resources. I urge the Division of Waste Management and Radation Control to not renew the mill's operating permits, as well as other permits that would allow for the country's most toxic waste to be shipped and stored at White Mesa. I am a student journalist for The Daily Utah Chronicle and recently published an investigative report on the mill. As a journalist, I have no opinion on the mill or its license renewal. As a citizen, however, I am deeply concerned. I spent an afternoon walking door to door asking residents how they felt about the mill. I ended up speaking with 15 people, all of whom told me they do not drink their tap water because they fear it is contaminated by the mill. People in White Mesa have to drive to nearby cities, like Bluff, Blanding, and Cortez, just to access clean drinking water. The closest Walmart, where bottled water is the cheapest, is more than an hour drive away. Many community members don't have access to working vehicles; the unemployment rate in White Mesa, according to 2000 census data, is over 50 percent. The mill has repeatedly been cited for exceeding radon emission limits lined out by the EPA. It is unsettling that the mill has emitted excess levels of a cancer-causing gas just a few miles upwind from a the White Mesa Ute Mountain Ute reservation, and it is troubling that Energy Fuels hasn't received so much as a slap on the wrist for it. I am not a scientist, and have no background in nuclear energy or technology. I don't really understand technical discussions about tailings, radon, yellowcake, and thorium. But what I do understand is that there is an entire community of people, most of them in economic hardship, who feel helpless, and feel like state and federal regulatory agencies don't care about them. With all due respect, I believe the Division of Radiation and Waste Managment Control has failed the White Mesa community. I hope that the DRWMC takes the public comment period seriously, and that the concerns of White Mesa residents are given thorough and sober consideration.

Box 144880 Salt Lake City, UT 84114-4850 Subject: Public Comment on White Mesa RML Renewal July 28, 2017 Dear Mr. Anderson: I am writing as a Bluff, Utah resident with concern about the Radioactive Materials License renewal, Ground Water Discharge Permit renewal, Reclamation Plan 5.1 approval, and approval of License Condition 10.8 for the White Mesa Uranium Mill operated in San Juan County, Utah by Energy Fuels. My primary concerns are that the reclamation plan and surety are insufficient, groundwater contamination is not being sufficiently monitored or controlled, the White Mesa Ute Community has been inadequately consulted, radon emissions are unchecked and pose a health risk to communities like mine, and the county is unprepared for transportation-related incidents with the Mill. My concerns are submitted in reference to Utah Admin Code R313-22-33(d) which requires that ““the issuance of the license will not be inimical to the health and safety of the public” before approving a license or a license renewal. I cannot recommend denying the license and permit because shutting down the Mill with the current reclamation plan & surety would be worse than allowing Energy Fuels to improve the reclamation plan and carry out necessary reclamation. However, in order to ensure that operations and post closure impacts are “not inimical” to public health, the Division should require a) a stronger emergency response plan that is inclusive of the White Mesa community and recognizes the strengths and weaknesses of local emergency response teams; b) an updated reclamation plan that includes deadlines, liner replacement, increased dust control and compliance with the number of active tailings piles allowed in Subpart W; c) monitoring plans for the transport route through Bluff; d) better consultation with the White Mesa Ute community of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe; e) a denial of License Condition 10.8 allowing Sequoyah Fuels to process alternative feed at the Mill and f) groundwater monitoring in a wider area decided in consultation with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe Environmental Program. Uranium and radioactive waste is inherently unsafe, high risk 8/2/2017 Public Comment on White Mesa RML Renewal - Google Groups https://groups.google.com/a/utah.gov/forum/print/msg/dwmrcpublic/MORzNjudC2k/UVg8tVZcCQAJ?ctz=3989918_80_84_104220_80_446880 2/7 As history has shown time and again, activities that involve mining, transporting, milling, and story uranium products are inherently unsafe. Technology and monitoring exists that would protect the American public from radiation absent human error, but there is always a chance of human error as we have seen with recent spills associated with the transport of ore to the White Mesa Uranium Mill. A calculation of risk considers the magnitude and the probability of an accident. There is a reason White Mesa is the only conventional mill operating in the country: When we consider the accidents that have happened and the magnitude of what could happen in the event of human error, or even natural forces, the risks to downstream communities and our environment become unacceptable. Three new tailings sources would come with the license renewal: that’s more throughput, more transportation, and more room for human error. There is a reason there are no more conventional uranium mills in operation in the country and its because of this calculation. What does it mean that it is the only operating uranium mill in the county? This is a common argument in support of renewing Energy Fuel’s license and permit but just because it's the only mill doesn't mean it should stay operating. This factor has no bearing on the related risks of the mill. Sequoya Fuels in Oklahoma is looking to transport their uranium waste to White Mesa because no other place in the country will accept it. What should be the deciding factor for the future of the mill is whether it can be operated safely for the health of present and future generations. Surety is insufficient to cover probable cleanup costs The current $20 – 23 million contingency plan for reclamation of the mill is decidedly low and insufficient. Dozens of actual reclamation projects throughout the West tell of story of drawn out, expensive reclamation that can cost hundreds of millions more than was bonded. In fact, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe Environmental Programs Department estimates that the actual reclamation costs will be $30-130 million more than the current surety. Reclamation needs to be timely and sound, especially with the elevated radon emissions from unreclaimed dewatered tailings piles. The current reclamation plan and surety need to be revised before the license and permit are renewed and license condition 10.8 and the reclamation plan are approved. The community most adversely impacted by the mill benefits the least and was consulted the least The White Mesa Uranium Mill and this public process have been discriminatory against the White Mesa Ute community of the Ute Mountain Ute tribe. The White Mesa community was excluded from meaningful participation when the State decided to host public hearings in Salt Lake City and Blanding, but not in the community just 5 miles from the mill and the most immediately downstream. There is no reason why the Division can’t go above and beyond consultation requirements to ensure that the opinions and data of the closest community are heard. The White Mesa community has said that they want to stay in their homes and continue to raise their children and grandchildren in White Mesa. The state must look to the future generations of White Mesa tribal members when they decide whether the likelihood and occurrence of cancerous dust and contaminated water is acceptable. To make matters worse, White Mesa community members were told at the June Salt Lake City public hearing that crisis procedures for the mill would not notify officials or community leaders in White Mesa in 8/2/2017 Public Comment on White Mesa RML Renewal - Google Groups https://groups.google.com/a/utah.gov/forum/print/msg/dwmrcpublic/MORzNjudC2k/UVg8tVZcCQAJ?ctz=3989918_80_84_104220_80_446880 3/7 the event of an incident. This is compounded by a testimony by White Mesa Ute Community Member Yolanda Badback that when up to 5 gallons of radioactive material spilled on Highway 191 recently, the community was not immediately notified. If the approved emergency response plan does not notify the White Mesa Ute community, and the state approves the license and permits, their emergency response plan must be changed to include this community. The storage of toxic alternative feed and radioactive waste – in perpetuity The other side of nuclear energy is nuclear waste, a problem no brilliant mind has yet solved. It would appear that the tailings at the mill will be in White Mesa in perpetuity, causing environmental management problems 50, 200 and 1000 years down the line. The long-term, adverse environmental and human health effects of this fact require a radioactive materials permanent storage permit and trigger in NEPA the requirement of an Environmental Assessment or EIS. This is why an updated reclamation plan and increased surety are so critical. Additionally, the mill is a phased disposal facility, which means that the number of tailings piles/cells is limited by 40 C.F.R. § 61.252(b)(1) and cells no longer in use must be immediately dewatered and covered to limit emissions. The cells at the Mill were not designed for phased disposal, and Cells 2 & 3 are not being “immediately covered” to prevent radon dust from blowing into neighboring communities and the highway. Given the disposal issues with the existing cells and the absence of a strong reclamation plan, we recommend that License Condition 10.8 that would allow the processing of alternative feed from Sequoyah Fuel, Oklahoma be denied. Cell liners insufficient and leaking Arguably the most significant of all the problems of long-term or permanent “disposal” at White Mesa is the liners. Cells 1, 2, and 3 have inadequate liners to provide long-term security against water contamination. In an independent review of the 2013 Revised ICTM Report, an outside consultant found that in the “evaluation of the flow through liners in Tailings Cells 2 and 3[,][t]he information presented in not sufficient to demonstrate that significant leakage has not occurred/is not occurring from Cells 2/ and/or 3, and the potential range of possible leakage rates from these two cells has not been conservatively estimated, considering the site and liner conditions and dewatering systems installed these two cells compared to liner conditions and the dewatering systems installed in Cells 4A and 4B.” (https://deq.utah.gov/businesses/E/energyfuels/docs/2013/03Mar/DRC_2013_001243_2.pdf) The liners of cells 1, 2, and 3 haven’t been updated since the 1980s and their twenty-year life is long expired. They are inappropriate for phased disposal and not sufficient to prevent contamination leaks. This needs to be addressed in an updated reclamation plan in order to qualm some of our concerns about water contamination – at least in the short term. Long-term threats to water supply outweigh short-term economic benefits With radioactive ore, alternate feed processing and disposal, the balance between short term benefits versus long-term damage always proves unfair to the public in the end. According to the Grand Canyon Trust, during the life of the mill up to 2013, the state has cited White Mesa Mill for 28 violations of water quality regulations. This does not include recent transport spills and the contamination plumes detected by the Ute Mountain Ute tribe. 8/2/2017 Public Comment on White Mesa RML Renewal - Google Groups https://groups.google.com/a/utah.gov/forum/print/msg/dwmrcpublic/MORzNjudC2k/UVg8tVZcCQAJ?ctz=3989918_80_84_104220_80_446880 4/7 As noted above, the liners in cells 1-3 are 20 years past their expected life. When part of the Cell 1 liner was replaced in response to a leak, many visible cracks in the 30 mm liner were observed. Additionally, Monitoring Well 22 has yielded results of acidic water with the same heavy metals that are in the tailings. These threats are real. Contamination isn’t a question of if, it’s a question of when. As a downstream community, Bluff is seriously concerned about long-term impacts to our water supply since the impermeable layer protecting our water in the Navajo Aquifer has been breached and can eventually be contaminated with radioactive materials and heavy metals. White Mesa and other communities like Kayenta share this same precious water supply. According to a handout circulated by the Division at the June 15th public meeting, “monitoring wells shows that ground water contamination is contained within the mill site boundary.” This brings up two concerns: first, that the White Mesa Ute environmental program has conflicting data showing contamination outside of the boundaries, and second, that there is contamination which cannot stay within the superficial boundaries of the mill in perpetuity. Short term threats to water quality, particularly for White Mesa A USGS report found that the White Mesa Ute water supply is locally recharged by localized sources and precipitation, which includes “artificial recharge of seepage from constructed wildlife refuge ponds near the mill.” Contamination in these ponds suggest that dust blowing from the cells at White Mesa has reached these water sources. This indicates a direct, short-term water quality threat to White Mesa from dust. Additionally, water samples from the Entrance Spring monitoring station had higher-than-background- levels of uranium, vanadium and selenium than other monitored wells. This is gravely concerning. There is evidence that cell liners are expired and cracking. The USGS report suggests that contaminated dust is reaching water supplies outside the Mill boundary. And the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe has found off- site groundwater contamination through their monitoring. The Mill needs a stronger response to this very real threat. The first step for the Division should be requiring Energy Fuels, in conjunction with the Division, to consult with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe’s Environmental Program to compare data in order to plan more a robust monitoring network and consider solutions like replacing liners. Concerns about inadequate State oversight in monitoring and enforcement A third-party review of the 2013 Revised ICTM Report and data collected by the Ute Mountain Ute Environmental Program Department bring into question whether or not monitoring and responses on behalf of the Division and Energy Fuels have been sufficient enough to justify the groundwater discharge permit UGW370004 being renewed. The data certainly makes us question bringing in more feed from new sources, like Sequoyah. According to DEQ, the ICTM contaminate transport model is still under review. This should be released and readily available to the public online before the groundwater discharge permit is renewed. This brings up broader concerns about the Division. The state has not been expeditious in renewing the license, allowing Energy Fuels to be in grace period for far too long. How can we feel reassured that the 8/2/2017 Public Comment on White Mesa RML Renewal - Google Groups https://groups.google.com/a/utah.gov/forum/print/msg/dwmrcpublic/MORzNjudC2k/UVg8tVZcCQAJ?ctz=3989918_80_84_104220_80_446880 5/7 license, allowing Energy Fuels to be in grace period for far too long. How can we feel reassured that the state will do a good job monitoring and holding Energy Fuels accountable to safety standards, the reclamation plan, mill operating plans, and environmental quality standards if they let the permit and license slide? For the community of Bluff, we need to be reassured that the Division is looking out for downstream communities like us. Insufficient monitoring of impacts to human health from radon We are particularly concerned about the distribution of radon-222 gas, a hazardous air pollutant that readily attaches to solid particles like dust. Inhalation of radon-carrying particles bring this carcinogenic agent into the body, where it can stay for years. A citizen suit filed by the Grand Canyon Trust for violations of the Clean Air Act relied on self-reported data showing that radon emissions exceeded hazardous air pollutant standards in 2012 and 2013. According to Uranium Watch’s monitoring, cells 1, 3, 4A and 4B continue to emit high levels of radon. The Division needs to go above and beyond state and federal statutes in requiring biannual radon emissions monitoring from all the cells at the mill through use and closure, and not just from cell 2 which measures radon levels above the legal limit in 2014. Cells 2 and 3 are used for dry waste disposal. Whether in use or closed, the Division should use the EPA 20 pCi/m2-sec standard, especially since radon is most easily transported through dry materials, as opposed to wet. Since these cells are not yet covered, high emissions rates seem all the more likely. According to the EPA, there is no safe level of radon exposure. An average ambient radon reading is .04pCi/L and the mill has been experiencing emissions above the 20 pCi/ m2-sec standard. Communities like Bluff, White Mesa and Blanding are within the 25-mile radius of the mill that could be affected by windblown dust. They are also along the transport route where dust can be transported by vehicles, then inhaled, before decaying into a less-toxic form. The prevailing winds blow to the northwest, but this is not all the time. We remain concerned about winds blowing radon particles to communities like White Mesa, Blanding, and Bluff. Insufficient monitoring of impacts to natural resources for communities downstream The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is monitoring two contaminant plumes from the mill and found evidence of airborne deposition and stormwater transport of materials from the mill. According to the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, the well(s) nearest the White Mesa community need to be designated as point of compliance wells. I encourage the Division to add this language be added as a stipulation to the license and permit. Insufficient monitoring of impacts to natural resources for communities on the transport route Three transport vehicles leaking radioactive materials have arrived at the mill in the last two years, including one severe case in which radioactive material was spilled onto Highway 191 where many Ute community members walk daily. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission responded to the spills caused by a Wyoming operator after-the-fact and there was concern that leakage may have occurred along the entire transport route. This was extremely concerning to White Mesa and the residents of Bluff, who are along some of the current or proposed transport routes to the mill. Before more shipments are arriving and as a stipulation of the permit, communities like Bluff need the opportunity to gather baseline data in key locations where a transportation spill could occur. This will be especially pertinent if Energy Fuels begins mining at the Canyon Mine in Arizona, putting my home of Bluff directly on the transport route. Bluff needs quarterly monitoring along the transportation route through our town but may not have the time to put in place such protective measures before major transport begins and as current transport continues through our town. (See Naftz, D.L., Ranalli, A.J., Rowland, R.C., and Marston, T.M., 2011, Assessment of potential migration of radionuclides and trace elements from the White Mesa uranium mill to the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation and surrounding areas, southeastern Utah: U.S. Geological Survey Science Investigations Report 2011–5231) 8/2/2017 Public Comment on White Mesa RML Renewal - Google Groups https://groups.google.com/a/utah.gov/forum/print/msg/dwmrcpublic/MORzNjudC2k/UVg8tVZcCQAJ?ctz=3989918_80_84_104220_80_446880 6/7 Transport incidents are largely outside the control of Energy Fuels but because the human health harm associated with bringing these materials to be processed at the mill, it is still the responsibility of the State and Division to monitor and control transportation of radioactive materials so that the Mill does not cause “inimical to the health and safety of the public.” Radioactive spills associated with the Mill are obviously a harm to human health and so this is why I question the license and am against Condition 10.8. Communities like Bluff are ill-equipped to deal with emergency response Many Bluff community members are unaware of a radioactive waste spill that occurred in town on 11/1/2013 in which Utah DEQ picked up a radioactive reading of .5mr/hr. Utah DEQ, Incident Report Number 11612 11/4/2013. Learning about incidents of this nature, which could increase in frequency if Sequoyah feed and ore from the Canyon Mine travel through Bluff, we became all the more concerned about San Juan County and Bluff’s abilities to response to an emergency along the transport route to the Mill. A spill along the transport route through Bluff and other communities would be our responsibility and we don’t have the manpower or training to respond to the length and severity of a HAZMAT event. Ultimately, this brings into question the preparedness of county as a whole to respond to radioactive or chemical spill. The damage that could be done to the natural and human environment while Bluff emergency response team and that of the county figures out how to respond could be catastrophic. This threat to human and environmental health is of a magnitude that our town cannot risk. Conclusion Please consider the facts: the Mill has had self-reported radon violations under the Clean Air Act; there have been radioactive spills on the road; the liners of select cells are years past their expiration date and are sitting on top of our water supply; groundwater monitoring by the Ute Mountain Tribe shows contamination from the tailings outside the Mill boundaries; the Mill is most adversely affecting the community it serves and employs the least, White mesa, and it's been operating without an active permit; there is insufficient monitoring in places like Bluff, and the San Juan County Emergency Response is not equipped and training to deal with a HAZAT incident. The radioactive materials license should only be renewed with the condition that Reclamation Plan 5.1 is updated so that active reclamation can begin, with deadlines, and Subpart W standards for active tailings facilities are followed. The groundwater discharge permit should be renewed only with increased groundwater monitoring and attention given to the data provided by the Ute Mountain Ute tribe. Given the state of the mill and issues with radon, dust, and poor reclamation plan, License Condition 10.8 should not be granted. Thank you for considering the concerns of local residents impacted by the operations and legacy of the White Mesa Uranium Mill.

We say, “Haul No!” Protect the Grand Canyon, sacred sites, and precious water. WE are concerned about the mill's potential health impacts on air and water quality, and they object to containment cells at the mill that accept radioactive waste from around the country.

I am very concerned about the White Mesa Band of the Ute Mountain Ute Indian Tribe potentially suffering health effects from radioactive contamination from the dump's radon-222 emissions which exceed Clean Air Act standards. I am also worried about the potential for water contamination which would also affect the health of residents. I live in the Black Hills of South Dakota where a foreign company is interested in starting a ISL uranium mine. If this mine ever becomes operational, its radioactive waste could be shipped to the White Mesa radioactive waste dump. Thank you.

I (George Alderson) first visited this region of Utah in 1963 to work on a Utah State University range research project. We have visited San Juan County, including White Mesa, and we stayed at Bluff. We believe strict measures are needed in the proposed license to protect public health and the native ecosystems on public lands in southeastern Utah. In our judgment, the plan submitted by the Utah Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control for the White Mesa Mill license is not adequate. Uranium milling poses radioactive and toxic threats that need to be addressed in a manner that will minimize damage and minimize risk. If the division wishes to renew the license, the following requirements should be included: 1. Require a surety bond that guarantees that any cleanup of the mill and millsite will be paid for by the owner of the mill, and not the taxpayers. Too many mining and millsites in the West have been abandoned by operators that used bankruptcy laws to escape paying for the cleanup. 2. Include deadlines for every step in cleaning up the mill that will be enforceable, and with a requirement for public comment before any deadline is extended. 3. Reject the proposal that envisions running Sequoyah Fuels' radioactive sludge through the mill and burying the waste at White Mesa. The White Mesa community of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is just a few miles from the mill, and Blanding and Bluff only a little farther. Any pollution that results from an inadequate license will disproportionately burden these small tribal and rural communities and threaten the health and well-being of generations of Utahns to come. It would be a big mistake to allow the mill owner to saddle taxpayers with a multi-million dollar cleanup bill. Any license should include ironclad conditions to prevent that from happening. Thank you for considering our views.

"In both 2012 and 2013, the mill’s own reports show that it emied more radon — a cancer-causing air pollutant — than the Clean Air Act allows. And in 2015, 2016 and 2017, radioacve spills occurred as materials were transported to the mill for processing. Numerous cases of cancer have been reported in White Mesa, although no epidemiological studies have begun."- Dr. Stephanie Malin, Faculty at Colorado State University, PhD., Utah State University It is absolutely clear to me, and should be so to anyone else with compassion for the local communies and the long-termed health of our lands, that more research is needed before we can consider allowing this to connue. "At the very least, state regulators should require Energy Fuels to post a substanal bond to guarantee that the company pays for the mill’s cleanup.

Please revise and improve the White Mesa Mill's radioactive materials license. Uranium milling results in radioactive and toxic threats to which the public should NOT be exposed. I urge you to do the following: Require the mill owners to financially guarantee that they will fund ALL clean-up costs. Too many times I, as a U.S. taxpayer, have been left holding the bag for huge clean-up costs. Require that mill owners perform ALL clean-ups according to pre-determined enforceable plans with strict deadlines. If deadlines must be extended, allow public input on the decision to extend. Good grief!! Do not allow Sequoyah Fuels' sludge to be run through the mine and then bury the waste at the White Mesa mill site. Nothing radioactive should be buried!! Take responsibility and deal with it now. Don't leave it for future generations.

Here are some problems I see with this license: Underinsured Polluting. The license requires Energy Fuels to guarantee that the state of Utah will get a lump sum to clean up the mill if Energy Fuels doesn’t clean it up, much like an insurance policy. If that guarantee is too low and the company walks away without cleaning up the mill, those living nearby will suffer from whatever toxic mess is left behind until taxpayers fund a cleanup. Right now, the company’s guarantee is about $20 million, a figure that reflects the company’s estimates of how much the cleanup will cost if everything goes according to plan, including a cushion of just over $3 million for unforeseen costs. But cleaning up a uranium mill is a complicated and uncertain venture that can cost way more than $20 million. Energy Fuels and the state of Utah are basically planning for a near best-case scenario, but the point of insurance is to deal with the risk of a worst-case scenario. Utah should make Energy Fuels bear that risk, not the public, by requiring the company to put up a much larger guarantee. Missing Cleanup Deadlines. Since 1994, the law has required Energy Fuels to have a deadline-driven plan for cleaning up the mill in phases while it’s still operating. Beginning in 1997, the company has submitted several cleanup plans that have no deadlines at all. We think some cleanup obligations have languished as a result. Though the company’s new proposed cleanup plan has some enforceable deadlines, others are vague, leaving too much leeway about exactly what has to be accomplished when. Utah should set enforceable deadlines for each step of the cleanup process. Risky Business. The mill was built in the late 1970s to process mined uranium ore from southeast Utah and the surrounding region. Since the 1990s, the mill’s owners have been chasing a new source of revenue by running “alternate feeds” through the mill and disposing of the resulting wastes on site. These feeds include uranium-bearing wastes from other contaminated places around the country and may be more radioactive and toxic than typical uranium-milling wastes.

The White Mesa Mill poses a serious health threat for the White Mesa Community. I am concerned that the 1980's radioactive waste barriers, especially Cell One, is not strong enough to contain radioactive toxic waste from seeping into the Burro Canyon aquifer and finding its way to local springs. The evidence from well MW2Z is concerning. Water monitoring has shown an acidic drop to 4.5 and a spike in heavy metals. This is proof enough to worry about the aquifers are not healthy. The mill owner must repalce the 1980 cell liners before a long term bond and agreement are set. The mill is not operating at a safety level that is reassuring to local residents. Please reject the Sequoyah Fuels’ radioactive sludge proposal until the mill runs with the very best safety procedures and monitoring proves that there is no damage to the aquifers.

I urge you to immediately close this toxic mill due to its health, environmental, and economic risks. Radiation and air pollution caused by mills such as the one in White Mesa have caused “cancers, respiratory problems, reproductive issues, allergies and birth defects” in nearby towns. Uranium mills have not only had toxic effects on people, but they also have had costly consequences. In Monticello, taxpayers spent $250 million dollars to attempt to clean up the mess of their mill. Although this cost is large, it does not compare with the priceless human lives that have been affected and the destruction of our environment. There are tribal communities downwind and downstream from the mill that will be most affected. Again, I urge you to save our citizens and environment by immediately shutting down the White Mesa mill.

No one on earth knows how to safely mine, manage, or dispose of radioactive material. Until proven methods to protect our most valuable resource - WATER - air, and food (land) is determined by The People with all the information at hand, this needs to be stopped. The government has no right to harm our citizens or any others on earth, much less this country. Radioactive materials are not safe and are not being managed safely. In Moab, UT, UMTRA is busy daily trying to move the superfund site of uranium tailings to a better protected site, but actually it sits near a high water table and affects directly less people (Thompson 39 people as of 2010), but there is still few lessons learned to protect people, wildlife, domestic animals and food from airborne, water and land radiation. I urge you to deny both the Radioactive Materials License (UT1900479) renewal and the Groundwater Quality Discharge Permit (Permit UGW370004) for the White Mesa Uranium Mill located on the ancestral lands of the indigenous Ute Mountain Ute nation, for the following reasons: • The Mill releases toxic radon gas and other emissions, which are harmful to public health. • By accepting alternate feed and uranium ore from several sites around the country, the Mill creates an extreme transportation hazard that exacerbates the risk of contamination and adverse health impacts nationally. • The amount of waste accepted and produced by the Mill creates an undue burden upon the local residents and indigenous people that will remain radioactive and dangerous for many generations. • The Mill adversely impacts sacred and historical lands to the Ute Mountain Ute tribe, including more than 200 rare and significant cultural and archeological sites.

Uranium milling poses radioactive and toxic threats that the division should make every effort to forestall. Yet in several ways, the proposed license puts the public and the environment at risk. The division should chooses not to renew the license. The toxic legacy of poorly reclaimed uranium mills already afflicts southeast Utah. If the division lets the White Mesa Mill add to that legacy by setting up the mill’s owner to leave taxpayers with a multi-million dollar cleanup bill, it would be failing not only southeast Utah, but also the public at large.

By the owner's admission this plant is releasing extremely dangerous radiation into the air, the aquifer, the soil and surface waters. Yet, it continues to operate with the state's blessing! Nearly as serious, the bond the operator is required to post is only $22 million -- a mere fraction of the likely cleanup costs. This uranium mill is another prime example of industry being allowed, even encouraged by a blatantly irresponsible state government to pollute without limits, then walk away with no consequences while taxpayers are forced to foot the bill for cleanup. Meanwhile, the health of the citizens living the area and the health of the ecosystem suffer irreparable damage just as we have witnessed in Moab, Monticello and many other locations. Please, for a refreshing change do the right thing and deny license renewal to this dangerous polluter!

I am a Grand Canyon river guide and live, quite literally, downstream of this issue. Renewing the radioactive materials permit for the White Mesa Mill, at all, is a bad idea. Renewing the radioactive materials permit without major changes is grossly irresponsible. Taxpayers are too frequently stuck with the clean-up bills - allowing corporations to internalize profits and externalize costs. This is not a “market-based solution”, it is a massive corporate subsidy funded by citizens. The surety bond needs to be twice as large as any currently conceivable cost of clean-up, because the actual expense will assuredly be larger than currently stated. And there need to be clear deadlines, and punishments, if clean-up is not completed appropriately. You need to protect southern Utah and northern Arizona communities’ health. Don’t poison us. Mining needs to make its profit in the context of its true costs. Thank you, James Norton -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "dwmrcpublic" group.

You are my government. You are my biggest expense. More than rent, more than food, more than transportation. After some research, it seems to me that using uranium to boil water is done mainly as part of a process to manufacturer bombs. Bombs to be dropped on innocent people so that corporate interests can get free resources (like more uranium) and taxpayers pick up the bill for the bombs and bullets and blood. It appears to me, we are collectively insane. The war machine are the psychopaths and taxpayers are it's enablers. How many hundreds of thousands of years before you would want to grow food at that site? Or any of the sites around the world contaminated by nuclear devices, bunker buster bombs and depleted uranium rounds, just in the last 25 years? I believe the brutality of humans, combined with the instinct to hoard proves our collective insanity. The people of White Mesa want clean drinking water and to not be breathing uranium dust. I think we all would want that in our community. I believe, as do Natives of this land, that we could live in a world of abundance, yet here we are in an scarcity economy, based on imperialism. As my governing officials, I appeal to you to consider the health of the planet first, then the health of the peoples of our planet, then you. And corporations should be in business to serve the greater good. And that this is not an example of that. I have seen that Moab is expanding and think if you look out fifty years, you could easily envision larger populations in the White Mesa area. When I work and spend money in Utah, I don't want my contribution to go towards imperialism or environmental destruction. Please vote to NOT renew permits for this site and order containment.

Ours is called Smelter Mountain. Pretty much a large basis for this town being here at the turn of the century. What started out as a lead, then gold/silver smelter operation, changed over to uranium milling for the war effort. Like others the the Four Corners area, it was, and still is, an environmental disaster. When the NRC does site sampling every 6 months...they not only find uranium and selenium in the water, but find it in increasing concentrations. There is no way I'd ever eat a fish caught in the Animas River... As a former chemical and environmental engineer for a major chemical company you'd think I would support the fact that milling operations can be done right. But sadly, as I learned over and over, politics, greed, voodoo economics, absentee out-of-state (or in your case, country) owners, and other factors far overshadow engineering. Anyone who's seen the mess and cleanup at Moab must surely, and quickly, believe there are huge risks and negatives associated with these kinds of operations. The company I worked for was DuPont. I knew guys who worked with Oppenheimer. We built Hanford. We managed Savannah River Plant. They are all turning into ever increasing environmental disasters. My neighbor friend when I was a kid in Denver worked at Rock Flats...until the fire. I understand the nuclear business and supply chain more than most. The risks are real and unacceptable. Like many Coloradans, we frequently enjoy visiting your state, and where we live, especially canyon lands in the Southeast. To risk similar damage that this area has had to deal with since the 40's, especially in such an environmentally sensitive and sacred area as White Mesa, to me is unconscionable. Quoting High Country News: "If Utah regulators fail to stand up for the public interest now, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, southeastern Utahns, and ultimately American taxpayers risk paying a high price. But nowhere are the risks higher than in White Mesa. The tribal community is immediately down-gradient and often downwind from the mill. Community members describe finding rainbow-colored meat when butchering animals hunted near the mill site. When the wind blew from the direction of the mill, people kept their children inside, reporting that they smelled strong chemical odors. In both 2012 and 2013, the mill’s own reports show that it emitted more radon — a cancer-causing air pollutant — than the Clean Air Act allows. And in 2015, 2016 and 2017, radioactive spills occurred as materials were transported to the mill for processing. Numerous cases of cancer have been reported in White Mesa, although no epidemiological studies have begun." Please turn down the license renewal for all our sakes.

I was at the public hearing and listened to the end. I must say, I empower you each to consider how the first people were here originally, before settlers and were pushed off the land of their choice onto 'reservations' which have shrunk over time in most cases. So often times, the US government has not kept it's word on the treaties. I wish to turn around this aweful pattern and show respect and love to our Native brothers and sisters. What I witnessed was a pretty sad sight and what I heard, though there was lots of information, intelligence and memorization, was also sad. It was void of feeling and compassion. My heart's prayer is that WE WILL MOVE AS A COLLECTIVE to clean energy. Making GREAT STRIDES is necessary. Bold moves to switch to sustainable, clean energy is a MUST for the children of the Earth. Remember, we are the ancestors of the future. What kind of ancestor will you be? #1 It is absolutely critical that all "ponds" are fenced in a way that keeps wildlife OUT! Including deer, rodents, and everything in between. #2 Allowing unlimited amounts of "waste" or however you choose to classify it, (it being material that needs to be processed) to be stored on the land there while it waits to be processed is irresponsible and dangerous!!! You must advocate for there to be a cap on this. In case of a natural disaster, etc, we cannot risk what could happen if this material was to spill onto the ground. It is obvious that even the ponds eventually drain into the Earth there and join the ecosystem, since Earth is porous. The evidence is clear by the huge decline in medicinal plants that cannot be found anymore for almost 100 miles, as well as the sickness of the flesh that the area's hunters have found. Companies that are creating these wastes, must be accountable for it themselves until the mills are ready to begin the processing. Forcing them to keep it and be responsible for there own creations will motivate them to produce less!!!!!!!! Clean energy is the only way of the future. It is move to sustainable energy or our descendants are going to suffer because of the greed and ignorance of our ways. #3 Assuming you each can relate to the theory that we are ALL GOD'S CHILDREN, we are all related, we are all family, and so on, you can put yourselves in the place of the People who live in White Mesa. Less than five miles from town, there is this monstrosity, a uranium mill. I implore you to set up a very accountable, dependable system of communication with the People of White Mesa, in all cases, but particularly in the case of an emergency. Simply notifying the city of Blanding and local authorities isn't good enough. Show some decency, as if it were your very own family, and set up a way to give communication very quickly, directly to the tribal elders. You will have to find out from them what way is best since many of them do not have computers or cell phones. This will show your humanity! Thank you! Do what is GOOD :) The Ute People need your voices to be righteous.

I am writing to voice my opposition to the renewal. The mill has a history of radon releases in amounts that violate the Clean Air Act. White Mesa has also been guilty of radioactive spills, and cancer rates among the residents of White Mesa are higher than should be expected. This seems reminiscent of the Monticello mine, another Energy Fuels Resources venture. The company left behind an environmental disaster, which American taxpayers (not just those residing in Utah) had to pay to clean up. The Monticello site was left with contaminated water (so important in the arid west), and residents of Monticello suffer from chronic health issues. The State of Utah should carefully consider the exorbitant long-term costs of the decision-not just short-term financial gains for Energy Fuels-a Canadian company who obviously has no problem taking its profits back to Canada and leaving a costly mess for American taxpayers to clean up.

It's immoral to subject a community of people to live so close to a toxic waste dump site. These people are no less important than those living in less rural areas and their health should be just as protected as everyone else's. It's unfathomable that the mill is processing this material on a license that has been expired for over 10 years. Not only should the license not be renewed the mill should be shut down entirely in order to prevent further harm. Regards, Ashley July 31, 2017 953 1st Avenue Salt Lake City, Utah 84103 Subject: Comments, White Mesa Mill Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. Ground Water Discharge Permit No. UGW370004 and Radioactive Material (11e.(2) By Product License No.) License No. UT 1900479 dwmrcpublic@utah.gov Public Comment on White Mesa RMI.Renewal Mr. Phil Goble: We wish to comment on this complex grouping of major issues into one license renewal request, on behalf of Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. Taking the issues in the order listed in the Public Notice released approximately May 1, 2017, the “License Amendment/Permit Modification” proposes to: 1) Renew the 11e.(2) Byproduct Radioactive Material License No. UT1900479, originally dated February 28, 2007. You will find my comments on file from that original issuance, on IUC- Denison Mines, later transferred to Energy Fuels Inc. by purchase of the Mill from Denison Mines. 2) Authorize Energy Fuels Resources to import “an additional alternate feed” from Sequoyah Fuels, an environmentally infamous, long-closed Kerr-McGee site, located near the confluence of the Arkansas and Illinois rivers in eastern Oklahoma, a few miles outside of Muscogee. 3) Renewal of Ground Water Discharge Permit No. UGW370004 for EFR, successor to IUC- Denison Mones. 4) Reclamation Plan 5.1 review. 1) RML License Renewal: In this order, item 1), the renewal of Byproduct Radioactive Materials License UT1900479 is troubled, to say the least. Nuclear materials production, including urainium metallurgical products and related vanadium for armor-piercing projectiles, is rife with engineering and legal mismanagement and mishaps, particularly in Dine, Ute, and Ute Mountain Ute country, as well health among tribes as in the northwestern New Mexico and northeastern Arizona uranium production area, now becoming symbolized by resource extraction “challenges” of Bears Ears National Monument and zones adjacent to the Grand Canyon National Park. When the license in question was last reviewed, there was little information available to the public on facility construction and facility adequacy to manage the extreme acidity of process fluids. Air quality information seems, as before, to have been suppressed, if it is gathered at all. Radon- 222 is a gas, not a fluid, so it would seem to fall appropriately in the administrative purview of ‘byproduct radioactive materials,’ rather than ground water discharge. Whereever it falls, this deadly material must be contained, and allowed to be released at no greater levels than recommended for ‘green environments’ anywhere else. While zero picocuries/cubic liter are strenuously put forth for responsible environments, the US Green Building Council lists 4 pC/L for “certified green buildings.” We understand that 20 pC/L will be allowed by this permit, there is no competent provision detailed for monitoring, particularly in the nearby Ute Mountain Ute Community, much of which is within 5 or 6 1 miles from the Mill’s ponds and waste piles. Journalism on the process of this permit has referred to the finding of 20,000 pC/L by Grand Canyon Trust, a level of air contamination that would be outrageous and flatly terminal, if true, compelling immediate action by the State DEQ and lawsuits by affected public organizations and individuals. Regardless whether the MILDOS computer model for radionuclides in the decay chain adequately accounts for Radon-222, or not, there must be a thoroughgoing embrace of responsibility for the existing facility and its radon output, immediately, followed by incorporation of this embrace of responsibility into the “alternative feed” proposal and into the reclamation plan! The licensee, the State of Utah, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission must be able to recapitulate the quantitative radioactive materials processing history of the White Mesa Mill, and then to calculate the release of radioactive materials, especially radon-222, and impacts on surrounding populations. This cannot be brushed aside by claims of legitimized racism! 2) “Alternative Feed” Authorization: Extending this line of argument, the millions of tons of uranium hexafluoride byproduct sludge from the precipitously shut-down mill near Gore OK cannot be allowed to be trucked across several states on federal highways, all the way to Utah, without intimate quantitative characterization of radon and other byproduct contamination variables, followed by public review of those variables --- many of which are deadly not only to exposed humans, but also to the environment. The very language utilized in the Public Notice --- “residuals” for example --- implies that millions of tons of highly radioactive sludge, so radioactive that the Cherokee Tribe in the Muskogee/Gore area demands its relocation (justifiably, it appears) while the Ute Mountain Ute and Navajo Tribes are brushed aside. Allow us to introduce another highly appropriate term: “Environmental-Racial Injustice.” It would simply be intolerable to understand the background of Kerr-McGee and the Gore plant, including the infamous “Silkwood” narrative, but then grant Energy Fuels the license to dump millions of tons of not “residuals,” but of highly radioactive materials containing, and destined to release, many lifetimes of radon and other deadly radionuclides into the confines of White Mesa Mill, within easy reach of an air inversion or a light breeze, to convey historic high levels of radon to surrounding environments. Chernobyl. Fukashima. Three-Mile Island. All these much more famous episodes probably would pale by scientific comparison with the verifiable history and data of White Mesa Mill. 3) Ground Water Discharge Permit Renewal UGW370004 must not be allowed. There are many, many things about which I know little or nothing, but linings for impoundment of highly acidic fluids, and the sludges that form are deposited within containment ponds is not one of those subjects. For most of the 1990s, I observed, specified, documented, and wrote reports to EPA Region VIII and to the State of Utah the process of Kennecott’s reconstruction of the Large Bingham Reservoir complex, the Blue Water Repositories, and several smaller, less famous containments. I saw their remarkable successes, as well as several of their failures and Kennecott’s corrective efforts. Moreover, I wrote architectural specifications for major commercial and institutional roofing projects, providing counterpoint and reinforcement to understandings gained from Kennecott’s environmental engineering technologies. This is not an imprecise or vague set of technologies and practices, extending from subsoil preparation, impermeable clay selection and placement, to the laying and joining of huge sheets/rolls of synthetic, chemically-resistant liners of proven qualities. Agencies down the proverbial hall from yours are wagering decades of safety assurance on those projects, just as building owners are wagering decades of future stability on those roofs that I specified. There is no evidence or reporting in the public record to assure US, the Utah and National Public, much less the adjacent and surrounding Sovereign Tribes --- or the residents of Blanding, Bluff, Monticello, and others who live nearby --- that a competent environmental engineering process was ever engineered or 2 managed through completion, into the future, for the “ponds” of White Mesa Mill. At Kennecott, the lowest acidity --- pH --- contained in the Large Bingham Reservoir, or the Small Bingham Reservoir immediately upstream, was about 2.6. The last time I reviewed the White Mesa Mill Ground Water Discharge Permit application (I have the letter in my computer records, from 2007), the lowest pH , if memory serves, was in Pond 4b at 0.7!! This is in a range of severely acid fluids that one would expect of uranium processing fluids, recapitulating conditions that deposited uranium family minerals in the region’s rocks, in the first place. Reducing chemistry to precipitate uranium family minerals, in turn, should instruct us how to go about neutralizing these materials, employing organic processes and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas --- but that doesn’t get rid of the radioactivity. Counterposed to this realization of epic levels of acidity is the White Mesa Mill’s complete lack of evidence that liners exist to match our mountains of hideously contaminated waste, or that any plan exists to contain globally record levels of radon gas? Is any of this even possible? How? UDEQ proposes now to import truly massive quantities of uranium hexafluoride byproduct materials from two states away, and to bring nearly certain, permanent ruin on the White Mesa area community through yet another in a series of 20 or so “alternative feeds.” Are competent geochemists and attorney teams not likely to be able to convert this into an enormous quantity of another substance: MONEY?? Please exercise appropriate responsibility, by rejecting the Sequoyah Fuels Corporation ‘alternate feed,’ a disaster in the making, by shutting down White Mesa Mill permanently, and by conceptualizing and executing a reclamation plan that is truly protective. 4) Reclamation Plan: If the existing state of biogeochemical conditions have not been adequately characterized and documented --- which is clearly the case --- how can the State or the NRC or the Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. engineers and executives (Mr. Mark Chalmers June 15 essay in the Salt Lake Tribune notwithstanding, with its pretense to innocence --- possibly claim to formulate a “reclamation plan” with a straight face; Much less formulate a “reclamation plan” that would be adequate to accommodate the addition of many millions of tons of additional byproduct materials from one of the most dangerous sites in US nuclear history, or the probably immense addition to ground water quality degradation of a regional nature? It’s time to get a) busy, and b) serious, and c) get to work! Dr. Traci Brynne Voyles published a wonderful book in 2015, entitled Wastelanding: Legacies of Uranium Mining in Navajo Country (U. Minnesota Press, 2015). This book thoroughly develops the case that individuals, corporations, institutions and governments --- local, county, state and federal --- have imposed “wastelands” on the West, particularly on “public lands”, to render them eligible for pillaging, polluting, terminally ending habitability for Native American peoples, as well as for Hispanics and creatures in Nature. Whether Energy Fuels, White Mesa Mill, San Juan County, and the State of Utah, the current Trump-era EPA, and fellow federal agencies like it or not, the White Mesa Mill permits are at the heart of the Public Need to halt the “Wastelanding” of Bears Ears National Monument, Northwestern New Mexico (particularly Mt. Taylor and the Grants NM region), as well as Northeastern Arizona and the Grand Canyon --- all regions inhabited for many centuries by the peoples who make up the Utah Dine Bikeyah Coalition that sponsored the Obama-era declaration of Bears Ears National Monument. While Dr. Voyles’ Wastelanding is at the top of your assigned reading list, that list must also include Judy Pasternak’s Yellow Dirt: A Poisoned Land and the Betrayal of the Navajos (Free Press, 2010), and The Navajo People and Uranium Mining edited by Doug Brugge, Timothy Benally and Esther Yazzie-Lewis (U. New Mexico Press, 2006). Whether you set out to be so, or not, you’re in these revelatory works, one and all. 3 Please re-vector your Department’s work in favor of honoring the ancient traditions and current health and lives of regional Native Populations. In the process, you will also honor the recent “colonial” transplants to the region, including San Juan County and other Four Corners region residents and visitors.
