EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN WHIRLWIND MINE
PROCEDURE NO. WW-1 Revision No. 1 Replaces Procedure: NIA
Page: 2 of 11 Revision Date: 03/09/08 Dated: N/A
SECTION 1: SURFACE FACILITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES
Preface
These procedures have been developed for use by Energy Fuels Resources Corporation (EFR) personnel
during any response to an emergency situation at the Whirlwind Mine site surface facilities. An emergency
situation can include, but is not limited to, spills of hazardous materials (HazMat), fires, accidents involving
personnel and/or material transport, or any combination of the above. Note that all EFR personnel located
on. the surface during an emergency situation are, required to respond to the emergency.
These procedures are not to be used for responding to alarms associated with routine operational problems
that occur within the site, process and monitoring systems, unless those problems could result in an
emergency situation. Examples of routine operational problems include intrusion 'alarms and routine
process alarms at the wastewater treatment facilities.
Any emergency situation will be successfully resolved by a phased response consisting of notification,
operations, and remediation. These three phases will be implemented in concert or sequentially depending
upon the specific situation and available personnel.
PHASE TWO: OPERATIONS
PHASE THREE: RENIEDIATION
The first person to arrive at the location of an emergency situation becomes the First Responder to
the incident and assumes responsibility for the subsequent emergency response until they are
relieved by an Emergency Coordinator, or voluntarily relinquish their authority to a more qualified
person. The First Responder can be any Energy Fuels employee or a contractor's employee (e.g.
truck driver).
PHASE ONE: NOTIFICATION
PHASE 1.0 NOTIFICATION
The PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY of the First Responder in an emergency situation is the prompt
