Energy Fuels uses a dry crushing facility for <br />coal preparation; no coal processing waste, as defined in <br />30 CFT 791.5, is produced from any part of the mining operations. <br />Section 816.69 Disposal of noncoal wastes. <br />(a) Noncoal wastes including, but not limited to, grease, lubricants, <br />paints, flammable liouids, garbage, abandoned mining machinery, lumber <br />~. <br />816-104 <br />
