~~ ~` Energy Fuels Corporation Special Stipulations 1. The applicant shall amend the blasting form to include directions to the nearest building or occupied structure. A copy of the revised form must be submitted to the regulatory authority 2 weeks after mine-plan approval. 2. The applicant shall relocate an existing air-quality monitor or install a new one south-southwest of the Eckman Park mine area prior to commencement of mining in that sector. 3. The applicant shall provide, by July 14, 1980, statistically valid vegetative information associated with the soil type of the elk calving ground, (soil type x8D). Ttie information must include production, cover, and diversity of the area. A dissimilarity statistical analysis shall be performed to demonstrate differences between the aspen communities on other soil types in the mine plan area and comaunities on soil type x8D in the mine plan area. 4. Within 2 months after the submission of the above requested vegetative information required in special stipulation 3, the applicant shall provide to the regulatory authority a detailed description of methodologies and criteria used in establishing new calving areas. The applicant must also provide with this submittal a detailed description of a monitoring program to evaluate the success of the sew calving area. 5. Six months after approval, the applicant shall submit for approval of the regulatory authority, a narrative of the techniques and devices to be used to establish the necessary watering areas for elk. The plan shall also include a map showing the location o.f the watering areas in relation [o the elk calving grounds. 6: Every 6 months for the life of the mine, the applicant shall provide data collected during elk monitoring programs to the regulatory authority. If it becomes apparent through monitoring of elk movement that haul roads are interfering with migration of the elk, the applicant shall use fencing approved by the regulatory authority. The fencing shall be employed to minimize impacts of roads during migration periods. 7. If any adverse impacts to fish or wildlife are discovered during the proposed monitoring programs, the applicant must, in consultation with regulatory authority, take appropriate measures to mitigate the impacts. 8. The applicant shall seed all disturbed areas that have reviewed final topsoil pzepara[on during the first normal planting period (fall). The applicant shall not delay seeding for the purpose of establishing a mulch cover crop. 9. The applicant has proposed the use of statistical comparisons of vegetation cover and production for establishing permanent reference areas. A similar comparison to that used to identify and establish permanent reference areas shall be used for measuring the success of tevegetatlon (vegetation cover acid production) for bond release. Vegetation diversity will be measured using the Shannon-Wiener index. Diversity component evaluations will also be used in the determination of revegecation success. This information will be submitted to the regulatory authority by September 1, 1980.
