EFCI believes that there is sufficient capacity available in the old workings to <br />receive the diverted water, but this is not susceptible to being readily verified. <br />With only two years of mine life remaining, EFCI believes that this plan will <br />function as designed. <br />4. The hydrologic consequences of this plan are exactly the same as abandoning <br />mining operations now and allowing mine inflows to naturally migrate within <br />the mine. <br />5. EFCI will continue to monitor mine inflows as required by the permit <br />application and thus document the quantity and quality of water diverted to the <br />lower end of the mine. This data will be summarized and reported to the <br />Division within the Annual Hydrology Report. <br />The proposed plan to establish closed-loop return of mine dewatering flows represents <br />ambitious changes to water handling at the Southfield Mine. EFCI respectfully requests <br />approval to initiate the above described plans, and thereby eliminate the water rights issues <br />resulting from pumping the North Dewatering Well. Please contact me if you have any <br />questions or require additional information. <br />Sincerely, <br />Energy Fuels Coal, Inc. <br />~_ <br />Allen S.
