<br /> <br />-June 9 letter, Rule 2.06.8(3), Alluvial Valley Floor Determination <br />1. After seeing the Foidel, Middle and Fish Creek floodplains in person on <br />June 30th, you agreed to drop this request. <br />2. Energy Fuels will provide a map showing present and historic irrigation <br />systems and irrigated lands on a topographic base. Energy Fuels will also <br />expand the discussion on pages 2.06-32 through 2.06-34 with revised pages <br />and supportive material to qualitatively evaluate irrigation success on <br />agricultural productivity. <br />3. As we discussed on June 30th, the backhoe pits were used to determine <br />alluvial litho logy, water production, topsoil and root zone depth, and were <br />completed as alluvial monitor wells. The requested information is con- <br />tained in the application as referenced below: locations of backhoe pits <br />(Map 114, Energy Mine No. 3 Groundwater Hydrology), logs and other data <br />collected Erom backhoe pits (Exhibit 1, Drill Hole Logs, last 11 pages). <br />-June 9 letter, Rule 2.06.8 (4), Application Contents for Operations Affe <br />1. No response required. <br />2. As shown in Exhibit 1, Drill Hole Logs, the lithology and hydrologic char- <br />acteristics of the alluvium is almost identical between the Foidel, Middle <br />and Fish Creek floodplains. The U.S. Geological Survey pump test on well <br />008-FM-6 in the Foidel Creek alluvium, described in Exhibit 19, Aquifer <br />Test Data, is representative of the Middle and Fish Creek alluvium. <br />3. Energy Fuels has provided statements of the type and quantity of agri- <br />cultural activity performed on the potential alluvial valley floors on <br />pages 2.06.19, 2.06-32, 2.06-33 and 2.06-34 of the application. Energy <br />Fuels will submit a qualitative economic analysis with revised pages and <br />supportive material. <br />4. Energy Fuels will commit to install and monitor an alluvial monitor well in <br />the alluvium of Middle Creek near where it leaves the northeast corner of <br />the permit area, with revised pages and supportive material. <br />The responses submitted in this letter reflect my understanding of our <br />discussions on June 30, 1981. If you have any problems with the responses, feel <br />free to contact me or Gary Myers, so that we can clarify these issues. <br />Sincerely, <br />ENERGpY FUELS CO RIIP//ORATION <br />~/ ~cacr~cGt~~ <br />G.P.
