DIVISION OF RECLAMATION, MINING AND SAFETY <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Phone: (303) 866 -3567 <br />FAX: (303) 832 -8106 <br />June 24, 2011 <br />Mr. George Patterson, General Mine Manager <br />Energy Fuels Coal, Inc. <br />P.O. Box 459 <br />Florence, CO 81226 <br />RE: Marr Mine, Permit C- 1980 -006 <br />Certified Sediment Pond Inspection Report <br />Dear Mr. Patterson: <br />A certified sediment pond inspection report was received by the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, <br />and Safety (Division) on May 12, 2011. Mr. Brian Len at Northwest Colorado Consultants, Inc. (NWCC) <br />inspected the Loadout Pond on May 9, 2011. Per the report, the pond was functioning as designed at the time of <br />the inspection. Mr. Len did recommend maintenance of the embankment beside the outlet channel. Willows <br />and root balls should be removed and holes filled and compacted. The Division concurs with these <br />maintenance needs. <br />The Division has reviewed and found the report to be in compliance with Division regulations 4.05.9(14) and <br />4.05.9(15). Although Rule 4.05.9(15)(d) states that pond inspection reports should include the existing storage <br />capacity of each impoundment, this information was provided in September 2010. At that time, the pond was <br />found to have ample storage capacity, and there was no need for sediment removal at that time. If the pond is <br />not reclaimed by September 2011, please check the sediment level again and provide that information to the <br />Division in your Second Quarter inspection report or other appropriate format. <br />If you have any questions feel free to contact me at (303) 866 -3567, extension 8113. <br />Robert Zuber, P.E. <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />Cc: NWCC, 2580 Copper Ridge Drive, Steamboat Springs, CO 80487, attn: Brian Len <br />COLORADO <br />D I V I S I O N O F <br />RECLAMATION <br />MINING <br />— &— <br />SAFETY <br />John W.
