Material storage azeas and stationary equipment will also be located underground. Roof bolts, mats, <br />vent tubing, hoses, lubricants, and the smaller and more commonly used equipment parts will be <br />stored underground near the working faces. These locations will change as the mine workings aze <br />advanced. Stationary underground equipment will include air compressors, transformers, and <br />ventilation fans. <br />3. Surface Facilities <br />The proposed surface facilities are shown on Maps C-2 and C-3 for the main Whirlwind Mine azea <br />and Maps C-4 and C-5 for the Packrat Mine azea. Minor changes may be made to the proposed <br />layouts during construction; however, construction activities will be confined to the permit azea and <br />outside of surface drainages. The majority of the ore and waste rock (i.e., over 90 percent) will be <br />brought to the surface from the Whirlwind portai. Any ore or waste brought through the Packrat <br />portal will be transferred to bins where the material can be loaded into highway haul trucks for <br />transfer to the Whirlwind or, in the case of ore, hauled directly to the mill. <br />A surface equipment list is presented in the lower portion of Section 4. There will be no processing <br />activities on site as all the ore will be transported to the White Mesa Mill or another existing <br />uranium mill in the region. Should a new mill be built by Energy Fuels, the ore would be <br />transported to that process facility. <br />The surface facilities at the Whirlwind Project include the following. <br />• waste rock embanlartent <br />• ore stockpile azea <br />• topsoil stockpile azeas <br />• water treatment plant and ponds <br />• fuel and oil storage azeas <br />• maintenance shops and warehouse <br />• mine offices and shower locker room (dry) <br />• designated pazking and storage areas <br />•) <br />Whirlwind Mine June 07 D-6 <br />
