Attachment B Compliance and Monitoring <br /> 13. Energy Fuels shall provide an annual report of weed survey results to the BLM and the <br /> respective counties. It shall include weed control measures and practices implemented <br /> including pesticide application records. <br /> 14. Energy Fuels shall measure for radon levels and flow rates in accordance with EPA <br /> regulations. This data would then be input into an EPA air modeling program to predict <br /> radiation levels at the nearest residence. The collected data and modeling results would <br /> be reported annually to the CDPHE. Energy Fuels shall provide copies of these reports <br /> to the BLM. <br /> 15. Groundwater samples will be taken and analyzed quarterly from the monitoring well <br /> down-gradient from the ore stockpile pad and the Whirlwind Portal. Analysis shall be <br /> conducted for selenium, arsenic, uranium, manganese, zinc, radionuclides, Eh, pH, <br /> sulfate, and iron. These data and a summary report shall be provided to the BLM. <br /> 16. To ensure selenium levels in the Dolores River are not increasing due to the Proposed <br /> Action, Energy Fuels shall monitor the Dolores River for selenium upstream and <br /> downstream from the confluence with Lumsden Creek when discharge is occurring <br /> under the CDPS permit and there is continuous flow from the middle tributary of <br /> Lumsden Creek to the Dolores River. Results of the monitoring shall be reported to the <br /> BLM. If the CDPS Permit effluent limit for selenium is met for two years, monitoring of <br /> selenium in the Dolores River can be discontinued. if at any time there is an exceedance <br /> in the effluent limit for selenium under the CDPS Permit, monitoring of selenium in the <br /> Dolores River shall be reinitiated until the effluent limit is met for two years. <br /> 17. Any birds or bats that are found dead or apparently ill in or near the ponds shall be <br /> reported to the BLM within 3 days of discovery to allow measures to be drafted to <br /> prevent further losses. <br /> 18. Any vehicle collisions with wildlife by mine personnel shall be reported to the BLM within <br /> 3 days of the collision. <br /> 19. Prior to reclamation, testing of the potential waste rock root zone material shall be <br /> conducted using appropriate testing procedures that extract available plant nutrients. <br /> Analysis shall be conducted for pH; conductivity; saturation; texture; soluble calcium, <br /> magnesium, and sodium; sodium adsorption ratio; carbonates; arsenic; boron; and <br /> selenium.The data and a summary report shall be provided to the BLM. <br /> 20. All data collected for groundwater and surface water sampling and analysis and a <br /> summary report shall be provided to the BLM. <br /> Whirlwind Mine Decision Record B-2 <br />
