• that allows the mine buggies to reach the top of the bins to dump. Map C-5 shows the cross sections of <br />the Pack Rat Mine. These cross sections show the existing terrain, the mining configuration and the <br />reclaimed terrain. The existing reclaimed Packrat waste pile is located on steep terrain and is not <br />suitable for disposal of waste rock. Accordingly, all waste rock and ore hauled out of the Packrat Portal <br />will be dumped into the bins. The waste will be hauled from the waste bin to the Whirlwind waste rock <br />pile while the ore will be hauled to either the Whirlwind ore stockpile or directly to the mill. <br />14. Utilities <br />The local power company will supply electricity to the site using the existing power poles and lines for <br />the most part. Some additional poles and transformers will be needed and temporary generators may <br />used in some areas until the power is completely established. Installation of the new power poles and <br />lines and acquisition of the required right of ways will be the responsibility of San Miguel Power <br />Company. <br />• Power drops to the Whirlwind and Packrat portal areas, Whirlwind Mine, Packrat Mine, and vent <br />shafts will be installed. The approximate locations of the two pad areas for the power drops to the <br />Whirlwind and Packrat underground workings are shown on Figure C-1B. The power drops for the <br />Whirlwind portal, Packrat portal and vent shafts will probably be from a power pole transformer to a <br />breaker box at the ground surface within the proposed surface disturbance for these areas, although <br />some vent shafts could be powered from an underground feed. For more detail on the power drop <br />locations, see Section 17 of this Exhibit. <br />As shown on map C-l, several existing telephone poles are located within the proposed waste <br />embankment expansion. Asolar-powered radio is located on one of these poles, which provides <br />telephone service to the mine. The poles are not owned by a utility company. Energy Fuels will <br />remove the pole and relocate the radio receiver prior to the waste pile expansion into this area. This <br />will not occur for at least two years after mine startup. <br />Water for bathrooms, showers, and other general uses will be hauled to the site from nearby, privately <br />• owned springs or wells. An above-ground water supply tank may be installed near the dry to store this <br />Whirlwind Mine 07 (rev. April 08) D-25 <br />
