the future for continuing trends: Calcium and Magnesium in Well 23 and Nitrogen in Well 23." According to our research, <br />there are several other concerns: Manganese, Sodium, pH, Iron, and solids. Several of these are very harmful especially <br />to infants and small children including neurological problems. More data can be found on Attachment 2. <br />It seems that water quality within one mile of a coal operation is to be monitored according to Senate Bill 89 -181 for <br />potential groundwater contamination within one mile of our mine or of the mine tailings. We ask that an environmental <br />specialist from the Division of Mining, Reclamation and Safety ensure that the domestic wells surrounding the coal <br />properties are not contaminated from Energy Fuels coal mining operations. It is possible that Energy Fuels might need to <br />drill additional wells for testing since there have really only been two wells reporting for about seven years. <br />We are concerned that the water is not being tested for lead. Can you please explain why lead was never added to the <br />test requirements? Is it possible that previous water samples were retained by the laboratory and these could be tested? <br />Lead has been proven to delay physical and mental development in infants and children (EPA Drinking Water <br />Contaminants: National Primary Drinking Water Regulations 5/2011). <br />We have not been able to find the 2011 Hydrology Report Review on your weblink. Can you please either email it to us or <br />send the weblink? <br />In the future, is there a possibility of taking water samples from Newlin Creek when there is water in the spring as was the <br />case in April, 2012? We are concerned about Newlin Creek not being tested and appearing to be going underground into <br />the mine workings. What can be done to confirm this and determine the water quality? <br />After reading the Reclamation Cost Estimate for the 2012 Midterm Review, we request that Pond #4 remain as is. Pond <br />#3 has a rubber lining and we request that the sediments be tested before removing the liner to ensure proper disposal. <br />We also ask that when the plugs are bought from the Forest Service, that water retention tablets also be purchased, that <br />supplemental watering be required and that fencing be installed to protect them from destruction. At pond 4, the gate has <br />been welded shut and the overflow apparatus doesn't work. We need to know why this was done and what if any <br />responsibility we have for overflow and water quality in the future. <br />It seems that the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) for the first quarter of 2012 is not adequately completed with <br />locations or dates. Also the little information that is provided is unreadable on your weblink. <br />See Attachments 1 & 2 (Wells 23 and 16 data) <br />Please respond to all of the land owners as your earliest convenience and hopefully by July 31 <br />Tena DeFellippie Gallagher Tena .aol.com <br />Linda DeFellippie Saunders Saunders615(cDlive.com <br />Paula Coulter paulacoulter(cDcomcast.net <br />Ted Coulter tedcoulter @yahoo.com <br />
