Sediment Pond <br />The sediment pond has been monitored since its construction in November 2008 in <br />accordance with DRMS stipulations. Although storm events have occurred, none have <br />resulted in stormwater discharge from the pond. As a result, no stormwater samples have <br />been collected from the pond to date. Energy Fuels will continue to monitor the sediment <br />pond for discharge and will collect samples in the event of discharge. <br />Dolores River <br />The Dolores River is required to be monitored for selenium upstream and downstream <br />from the confluence of Lumsden Creek in accordance with BLM stipulations to the mine <br />permit when the following conditions are met: <br />1) The Whirlwind Mine treatment plant is discharging treated water, <br />2) There is continuous flow from the middle tributary of Lumsden Creek to the <br />Dolores River, and <br />3) Selenium levels have been in exceedance of the CDPS permit effluent limits in <br />the past two years. <br />Energy Fuels Resources has been monitoring flow in the middle tributary to Lumsden <br />Creek as well as discharge into Dolores River from Lumsden Creek during periods of <br />treatment plant discharge. No stormwater flow has been observed in the middle tributary <br />of Lumsden Creek at the treatment plant or from Lumsden Creek into the Dolores River <br />during periods of treated water discharge. As a result, no water samples have been <br />t collected from Dolores River. Energy Fuels has ceased pumping, treating and <br />discharging water from the Whirlwind Mine until further notice. Energy Fuels will <br />commence monitoring the Dolores River for discharge from Lumsden Creek and take <br />r samples as necessary at such time that treatment and discharge of mine water resumes. <br />Hvdrolo6cal Monitoring Summary <br />t Refer to Table 7 for the hydrological compliance monitoring summary and status for <br />Whirlwind Mine.
