Attachment A Conditions of Approval <br /> 52. Diesel fuel and various oils for use in mobile and on-site equipment shall be stored and <br /> used on-site. Secondary containment shall be provided for all petroleum products. As <br /> described in detail in Section 2.2.2.9, a SPCC Plan consistent with federal regulation 40 <br /> CFR 112 shall be prepared and implemented for storing and using petroleum products <br /> on the site. <br /> 53.

Spill reporting and containment shall occur immediately and material shall <br /> be moved to the nearest approved landfill or disposal facility as necessary. <br /> 54. Portable sanitation facilities shall be provided during exploration and the initial phases of <br /> mining. The waste shall be taken off-site for treatment at an approved facility. A leach <br /> field shall be constructed to dispose of wastewater when the surface facilities are <br /> constructed. <br /> 55. Sludge collected from the treated water settling tank shall be analyzed to determine the <br /> disposal method. Then it shall be 1) mixed into a cement grout on-site and disposed of in <br /> the mine in a designated area, or 2) taken to the uranium mill with ore to be processed, <br /> or 3)taken to a landfill. <br /> 56. Solid waste shall be containerized and hauled to a landfill in accordance with state and <br /> local regulations. <br /> 57. Used oil and antifreeze from the maintenance shop shall be containerized and hauled to <br /> a recycling facility. Scrap metal, batteries, and tires shall also be recycled. <br /> 58.

The mine shall operate in accordance with federal regulations that are designed to <br /> protect the mine workers and the general public from radiation exposure. <br /> 60. The miners shall be protected through establishment of adequate ventilation and <br /> monitoring of radiation levels in the underground work areas in accordance with MSHA <br /> regulations. <br /> 61. The Whirlwind Mine shall maintain a minimum of 20,000 cubic feet per minute of air flow <br /> at the working area. A radon-daughter monitoring program shall be established in <br /> accordance with 57 CFR §5037 in which exposure levels would be monitored and <br /> recorded. If radiation levels in a working area are found to be in excess of MSHA <br /> standards, the ventilation shall be corrected immediately and more frequent monitoring <br /> shall be implemented to verify compliance. <br /> 62. All scrap metal and other recyclables shall be checked with a gamma meter prior to <br /> leaving the mine site. If gamma readings are found to be elevated, the material shall be <br /> cleaned using a power wash or other methods to meet appropriate radiation standards. <br /> 63. Energy Fuels shall not build the ventilation shafts in Utah or conduct any surface <br /> disturbing activities in Utah until the BLM Moab Field Office has completed Native <br /> American notification/consultation. <br /> Whirlwind Mine Decision Record A-5 <br />
