:.- <br />• Page 3 <br />Letter to Mr. Donald A. Crane <br />Re: Minor Modification <br />February 8, 1980 <br />.' Disruption of this program due to the lack of suit- <br />able trees, shrubs and topsoil for transplanting would result <br />in a significant reduction and delay in the amount and extent <br />of reclamation suitable for the valuable wildlife species in <br />the area. Failure to approve this proposed minor modification <br />to the existing mine plan would result in the reduction of the <br />wildlife habitat value of the reclaimed area and thus create <br />the potential for compliance problems under applicable state <br />anc'~.federal regulatory requirements. <br />As you know, EFC has submitted extensive and detailed <br />information in its presently pending application for a major <br />modification with regard to environmental baseline factors, <br />operational methods and other techniques relevant to topsoil <br />removal, storage and ultimate replacement and reseeding in <br />these areas. That information is hereby incorporated in this <br />letter by reference, and EFC confirms that its topsoil re- <br />moval operations in connection with the proposed minor modi- <br />fication request herein will be in conformance with the commit- <br />ments made in its pending major modification application. <br />• As you are ~ae11 aware, EFC is confronted with im- <br />minent closure of major portions of its mining operations. <br />These closures will be er.tended and greatly aggravated, re- <br />sulting in significant unemployment and economic loss, unless <br />this minor modification is approved by you on an e:;pe.dited <br />basis. Your consideration in this regard is deeply appre- <br />ciated. <br />Very truly yours, <br />Robert 6V. Adams, <br />Chairman of the Board <br />Energy Fuels Corpor~.tion <br />cc: Hamlet J.
