(EFCI) requests approval of a technical revision (TR-38) to terminate <br />inspections of the Refuse Disposal Area (RDA) at the Southfield mine. Successful reclamation and <br />stability of the RDA has been achieved as documented by certified professional engineer (PE) inspections <br />as well as the numerous inspections conducted by the DRMS throughout the mining and reclamation <br />operations at the Southfield mine. <br />EFCI previously submitted a letter requesting termination of inspections of the RDA dated Oct 6, <br />2010 , however, the Division rightly advised that a Technical Revision was necessary per Rule 1.04(136), <br />for terminations of the inspections. Therefore, in accordance with Rule 1.04(136), EFCI hereby submits <br />TR-38 to terminate the aforesaid RDA inspections. <br />EFCI first initiated this Inspection Termination Request in January, 2010 with EFCI's contracting <br />engineer. The engineer inspected and assessed the RDA March 25, 2010 approving finalization and <br />termination of further inspections of the RDA. However, EFCI did not receive the PE's certification <br />stamp of the March 25 inspection/report until September, 2010. Given the unforeseen delay, EFCI <br />respectfully requests that the Division approves termination of the RDA quarterly inspections/reports <br />effective at or about the close of the first quarter, 2010. <br />EFCI's previous letter (Jan 10, 2010, copy enclosed) contains detail of the contemporaneous <br />reclamation, revegetation and refers to study documentation of the RDA activities. <br />If you have questions or require further information, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />f <br />orge V Patterson <br />General Mine Mgr <br />ENERGY FUELS COAL, INC.
