radionuclides and then verify that it can be used for livestock. We would also like it compared to <br />other adjacent water like in the pond at the Florence Mountain Park. The other Retaining Pond for <br />Magpie Creek will also be removed and it will enter Magpie Creek which then flows into Newlin <br />Creek at the turnoff to CR 92. By not reclaiming Pond 4, EFCI is saving almost $11,000 and we <br />believe that money to resolve some of the water issues that we have brought up in this letter. <br />We have rejected EFCI offer of $45,000 which might be the cost of drilling one well. The <br />hydrogeologist that we have consulted recommends three or four water wells in order to be able <br />to have livestock back on our property. We believe that since so much water was removed from <br />the mine from 1985 -2001, that these new wells and pumps will need to extend to the Trinidad <br />aquifer or lower aquifers. They will also need to be monitored for pollution for at least two years <br />In summary, we request a Board Hearing to discuss these water issues and to present our findings <br />of fact regarding NOV and other relevant matters at the same hearing (for example the water in <br />pond 4 needs to be tested as originally requested in a letter of January 15, 2003 — with no <br />response). And we request that critical water monitoring tests be conducted in wells that have not <br />been damaged, which could result in EFCI needing to drill and permit at least three wells. Glenn E <br />Miller the geologist for Energy Fuels also recommended that the water be tested for radionuclides <br />and this has never been done. <br />Sincerely, <br />Theodore A.
