Gold Eagle Mining Inc. <br />JD -5 Mine Permit Number M- 1977 -248 <br />4.0 Other Permits and Licenses <br />The DRMS EPP requirement asks for a listing of "any air, water quality, solid and hazardous <br />waste, and other federal, state permits or local licenses, or other formal authorizations which the <br />Operator /Applicant holds or will be seeking applicable to the use, handling, storage, or disposal <br />of designated chemicals and acid mine drainage - forming materials ". As there are no discharges <br />from the facility and the facility does not involve the generation of solid or hazardous waste <br />these permitting needs are not applicable to the JD -5 facility. Given the current prohibition on <br />activity enacted by the DOE all other permitting and planning has been held in abeyance. While <br />mining or processing of the stockpile for uranium content extraction are possibilities which may <br />(or may not) require air permitting and/or radioactive materials licensing, these possibilities are <br />not being actively pursued given the DOE's current prohibition. <br />5.0 Designated Chemical(s) Evaluation <br />There are no designated chemicals within the permit area at this time. <br />6.0 Designated Chemical(s) and Material(s) Handling <br />As discussed above, there are no designated chemicals within the Permit boundary at this time. <br />Because the DMRS has determined that Uranium stockpiles may be considered to be toxic <br />forming materials this has been considered with regard to the JD -5 mine. As such, the <br />underlying soil characteristics have been evaluated and found to be sufficiently low in <br />permeability to preclude seepage into the underlying soils (See Section 7.0 Below). It is <br />intended that the storm water protection requirements of the CDPHE General Permit are <br />sufficient to protect against migration to surface water and there is no shallow groundwater in the <br />location of the ore stockpile. In addition, should the DOE PEIS result in a favorable finding, it is <br />planned that the stockpile may be processed onsite or transferred to a milling facility, in either <br />case resulting in appropriate environmental protections under those yet to be determined <br />scenarios. Testing of the materials for uranium recovery or for environmental release <br />considerations is currently disallowed due the DOE prohibition. It is intended that the final <br />3 <br />Environmental Protection Plan -JD -5 September, 2012 <br />
