Maos - Rule 2.10 1, There is some question regarding the permlt boundary. The maps include the tipple area and lands released from bond within the permlt boundary. It 1s the Division's understanding that the tipple was to be permitted separately. Lands released from bond are not under the Division's Jurisdiction and do not fit into the permlt area definition (Rule 1.04). Please provide the legal description for the permit area. MaDS not showing the correct permit boundary will have to be changed. Land Use - Rules 2.04.3, 2.05.5. and 4.16 1. CYCC has designated the maJor land use category within the permit area to be pastureland. Lands designated by this category are characterized by big sagebrush, snowberry and various native grass species. This vegetation type 1s not usually associated with land that is actively managed for grazing, browsing or for occasional hay production as required by the pastureland definition (Rule 1.04(11)(b). CYCC has made reference to the active management of the native Dastureland but there 15 no discussion describing what those management practices are. Please discuss to detail the methods by which the native pasturelands are actively managed. If management 1s primarily achieved by regulating the intensity of grazing, season of use or brush control, the areas may be better designated as rangelands. Geologv - Rules 2.04.5 and 2.04.6 1. Dr111 hole logs are presented in Exhibit 1. A number of logs for monitor wells that are Included 1n the applicant's Hydrologic Monitoring Plan (Exhibit 15, Table A) are not contained in Exhibit 1. Specifically, driil hole logs for the following monitor wells are missing: 77-35; 77-42; 77-43; 79-6; 19-7; and AX-1. Drill hole logs for these monitor sites should be included to Exhibit 1. Hvdrologic Balance - Rules 2.04,5. 2.04.7, 2.05.3(4). 2.05.6(3) and 4.05 A. Ground Water Information 1. The potenttometric surface of the overburden and alluvial aquifers in the permit area are presented on Map 4, Mtne No. 3 Hydrology. These contours were drawn based on October 1980 water level data. The map does not depict overburden ground water gradients 1n the area of the Middle Creek Pit or north of the Dit within the permit area. Mhy vasn't water level data from Monitor Well 008-80-8 8n the Lleske Yldll used to construct this map? The potentiometric surface map should be revised to include water level data from all available bedrock and alluvial monitor wells. ~~iu ~pau~-w~ ~~~3 C~~ 2. Ground water quality data from the Droposed permit area are presented in Tables 26 and 30 of the permit application. The data presented in these tables do not reflect the total ground water sampling and analysts effort ~, ~e-~ conducted to date at the Energy Mine Ho. 3 site. Additional historic data for e both bedrock and alluvial monitor wells is contained 1n Tables 26 and 30 of ~ X05, the original Energy Mine No. 3 permit application submitted by Energy Fuels Ul Corporation in February, 1981 (CMLRD file No. C-03f~81).
