The Division sent a notice of deficiencies to <br />Energy Fuels on October 26, 2011. Energy Fuels responded to the review on October 31, 2011. Staff <br />notes the issues raised in the review have been corrected or clarified. <br />Based on the response from Energy Fuels the Division has calculated the additional reclamation liability <br />for the additional 11 drill holes proposed. The estimate includes sealing the holes, some miscellaneous <br />earthwork for drill pad and road disturbance and revegetation. Not included was mobilization, which is <br />already factored in the original liability. The additional reclamation liability estimate is $2,955.00. A <br />copy of the estimate is being forwarded to the Grand Junction Bureau of Land Management for their <br />concurrence. Once the bond amount is agreed upon the Division can finish the approval process for the <br />modification. <br />Per Rule 5.1.3(c), the Division notified the applicant of the above reference deficiencies. The applicant <br />shall address the deficiencies within sixty (60) days of that letter (December 27, 2011, based on <br />weekend and holiday) or the Office may terminate the NOI file. <br />If you need additional information please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, <br />Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, or by telephone <br />no. 970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />G.
