Prince Albert Mine 110(d) Permit Application Exhibit U - EPP <br />U (6.a.2) Ore Transportation <br />Ore shipped from the Prince Albert Mine is currently transported to the Denison White Mesa Mill in <br />Blanding, Utah. A uranium milling facility is also being proposed at a location in the Paradox Valley in <br />Montrose County, Colorado and ore may be shipped to that location if the planned mill is built. The ore <br />transportation routes from the Prince Albert Mine to either milling location would be the same over local <br />county roads and state highways, only difference between the two being the final highway leg of the route <br />to the Blanding mill location using Utah Highways 46 and 191. <br />Ore will be hauled from the mine site to the milling facility by a contract trucking company in compliance <br />with the USDOT and Colorado DOT Hazardous Materials Transportation regulations. The ore transport <br />company is required to have a workable emergency response plan for transportation accidents involving <br />radioactive materials and proper compliance with the regulations is a stipulation in any contract <br />authorized by Rimrock Exploration and Development. <br />The mine -run ore will be loaded into the trucks from the Ore Stockpile at the Prince Albert Mine by either <br />Rimrock or contract trucking company personnel using a wheel loader. Loaded ore trucks will proceed <br />south on the mine access road to Road U16. The route over unpaved roads will be to travel easterly to <br />Road EE22 (Long Park Road) and turn north proceeding down Road EE22 until it intersects with <br />Highway 141. Turn right onto Highway 141 and travel in a northeasterly direction until Highway 141 <br />intersects with Colorado Highway 90. Turn right onto Highway 90 and travel to the new mill location <br />near Mile Marker 23 or continue to the Utah State border where Colorado 90 becomes Utah Highway 46. <br />Proceed down Highway 46, passing through La Sal until Utah 46 intersects with Utah Highway 191 at La <br />Sal Junction. Turn left onto Highway 191 and proceed through Monticello to the Denison Mines White <br />Mesa Mill located outside of Blanding, Utah. See Exhibit A, Figure A.1 "General Location Map" for the <br />routes to the highway. <br />U (6.a.2a) Reclamation of Ore Storage and Handling Area <br />The ore storage pad is located on top of a rock outcrop that forms a solid base for the ore during storage <br />and shipment. During reclamation of the site, all ore that is readily recoverable using small mobile <br />equipment and hand tools will be consolidated and shipped to the milling facility. The rock outcrop ore <br />storage area will then be pressure washed to remove ore fines, with the washed material being collected in <br />the local ore stockpile sump. The settled ore fines will be cleaned from the ore pad sump until the gamma <br />radiation emission rate in the sump area and at the ore stockpile area is consistent with the highest reading <br />recorded on the nearby Primary Waste Pile prior to the placement of growth medium on the waste pile. <br />All fines will be shipped to the milling facility for processing or transported underground for disposal in <br />dry areas of the Prince Albert Mine prior to the portal closure. Any excavated material that is returned to <br />the underground workings will be placed in a portion of the mine workings that will ensure that it does <br />not come in contact with any potential ground or meteoric water.
