9) Records of mine water volumes pumped, treated, and discharged as well as the volume <br />of water that is used during mining {i.e., hauled out of the mine in the produced ore and <br />waste and exhausted to the atmosphere by the mine ventilation system). <br />PR Spring Monitoring and Reporting <br />The monitoring program will also include recording of the flow rate and sampling and <br />analysis of PR Spring on a quarterly basis for the first 5 quarters of the project. After 5 <br />quarters of baseline monitoring, the spring will be checked quarterly for flow rate and <br />sampled and analyzed on an annual basis. PR Spring flows from the base of the Top Rim <br />sandstone and represents the closest downgradient sampling point (from the mining zone) <br />for ground water. The spring seeps from an area that supports tree and shrub growth, as <br />opposed to the relatively sparse vegetation in surrounding areas. The point for sample <br />collection and flow measurements wilt bean existing PVC pipe from which water flows <br />into a stock tank before overflowing into the drainage below. Quarterly flow rates and <br />water quality analyses will be reported in the quarterly hydrological report to DRMS and <br />the BLM. Any changes in flow rate and/or water quality will be discussed and evaluated. <br />In conjunction with monitoring activities at PR Spring, monitoring personnel will also <br />perform a pedestrian survey of the Top Rim sandstone within Lumsden Canyon. This <br />survey will be performed over a distance of about 1,000 feet to the south of PR Spring <br />and 1,500 feet to the northwest of PR Spring. Any seeps or wet spots encountered in this <br />area will be plotted on a map, measured for approximate flow rate, and sampled and <br />analyzed if the flow rate is sufficient to collect a sample. This seep survey will be <br />performed in late spring of each year after the snow has melted. In addition, the flow rate <br />at upgradient DP Spring will be measured and reported quarterly. <br />Lower Brushy Basin Monitoring and Reporting <br />Energy Fuels will install a monitoring well (Well W-1}just north of County Road 5/10 as <br />shown on Map C-2. This monitoring well is located downgradient of the Whirlwind <br />
