March 2001 1 <br /> Energy Fuels Coal, Inc. 2000 Annual Hydrology Report <br /> Introduction <br /> The 2000 Annual Hydrology Report (AHR) presents summarized hydrologic monitoring data <br /> and consumptive water use for the Southfield Mine operation during the reporting (calendar) <br /> year period. Similar to previous reports, discussion of hydrologic data and comparison of <br /> these data with previous reporting periods are incorporated within the report. The AHR is <br /> prepared and submitted in accordance with Exhibit 25, Hydrologic Monitoring Plan, of the <br /> permit application. <br /> Energy Fuels Coal, Inc ("EFCI") operates the Southfield Mine located 8 miles south of <br /> Florence, Colorado as shown on Figure 1. Coal is produced by-underground room and pillar <br /> mining methods. All run-of-mine coal is processed through the coal preparation plant to <br /> remove rock impurities and produce sized products. The mine and associated facilities were <br /> in active operating status through December 18 of the reporting period, at which time the <br /> operation ceased mining and filed for temporary cessation status. <br /> Monitoring data and information compiled for the AHR were collected in compliance with the <br /> approved monitoring programs. In addition, data collected by the previous operator, <br /> Dorchester Coal Company (1979-1985) is included in data summary. Required monitoring <br /> data collected and presented in this AHR includes: quantity and quality of mine inflows; <br /> quantity and quality of discharges to streams; groundwater quality and levels; and stream flow <br /> quantity and quality. <br />
