("Denison") of the <br />transformer vandalism at the Van 4 Mine site. The Mine was vandalized and copper from the electrical system <br />was torn out and stolen. The vandals took one of the transformers at the Mine site down and dumped it out, <br />spilling oil onto the ground. The transformer was then carried to the parking lot where the remainder of the oil <br />was spilled and the copper stripped from the transformer. An additional four transformers remained on the site. <br />In an effort to reclaim the affected area, a crew and a small excavator were deployed to the site in March of <br />2009. The soil in the area where visible oil staining was observed was dug up and aerated. The soil was <br />excavated three to four feet in some areas going past the point of any visible oil staining. The transformers <br />were then removed from the site. The soil in the parking lot area was also aerated. A photographic log of this <br />cleanup effort is enclosed. Please feel free to contact me directly at 303.389.4136 if you have any additional <br />questions or concerns. <br />Yours very truly, <br />DENISON MINES (USA) CORP. <br />Christy Woodward, PE <br />Environmental Coordinator <br />Cc: Denison Mines (USA) Corp., File <br />Terry Wetz, Phil Buck, Danny Flannery, Jim Fisher, Denison Mines (USA) Corp. <br />Russ Means and oob Oswald, Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />Enclosure. <br />,EN1S0Nr) <br />MINES
