<br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br /> <br />September 21, 2015 <br />Mr. Al Weaver <br />Energy Fuels Coal, Inc. <br />P.O. Box 459 <br />Florence, CO 81226 <br />RE: Southfield Mine, Permit C-1981-014. Public Notice for SL-03. <br />Dear Mr. Weaver: <br />Thank you for sending DRMS a copy of your Public Notice for SL-03. Should issues arise that <br />force you to re-publish, we have the following suggestions to make this notice clearer and more <br />accurate. <br /> <br />The legal description of the areas in question (with sections, townships, and ranges) is not <br />as precise as the description in the Southfield Permit Application Package (PAP). The <br />information is on page 2.03-40a in the PAP. While it would be cumbersome to include <br />this information in the public notice, we recommend that this information be included by <br />reference to that page in the PAP. <br /> <br />Your public notice does not directly state the number of acres of land for which the bond <br />release is sought (as required by DRMS Rule 3.03.2(1)(b). You do provide the amount of <br />disturbed acres, and presumably a reader of this notice can make the connection that <br />these are the same thing. However, it is preferable that this be stated directly. <br /> <br />Regarding the values in the public notice for the acreages of disturbance, the values do <br />not agree with the values in the PAP (page 2.03-40). For the mine site, the public notice <br />indicates a value of 88.3 acres, but the PAP value is 90.9 acres. For the loadout, the <br />public notice indicates a value of 17.7, but the PAP value is 15.4 acres. <br />Please let myself or Jim Stark know if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Robert Zuber, P.E. <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br /> <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us <br /> <br />John W.
