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 />Because water treatment of mine water has been suspended, it was unnecessary to <br />monitor Lumsden Creek for discharge to the Dolores River in the Second Quarter 2010 to <br />determine if samples were required. Energy Fuels will commence monitoring the <br />Dolores River for discharge from Lumsden Creek and take samples as necessary at such <br />time that treatment and discharge of mine water resumes. <br />Hydrological Monitoring Summary <br />Refer to Table 7 for the hydrological compliance monitoring summary and status for <br />Whirlwind Mine. <br />4
