station from 2002 through 2012, the average annual wind speed is 5.0 mph. Winds are <br />primarily westerly winds. <br />As indicated in the climate data, the average annual precipitation for the Uravan weather <br />station is 12.57 inches per year, whereas the evaporation is approximately 43 inches per <br />year. Taking the evapotranspiration rates of the plants into consideration, this leaves very <br />little water for recharge. <br />(14) Geochemical Data and Analysis <br />This section discusses the results of the SPLP tests to measure the concentration of <br />uranium related constituents leaching from waste rock stockpiles. Once mining resumes <br />at CM -25, representative ore samples will be submitted for SPLP testing and the results <br />reported to the DRMS. Besides uranium and vanadium, there are several constituents <br />that are commonly associated with these types of mineral deposits. These constituents <br />include arsenic, molybdenum, selenium, and at some sites radium. While most of these <br />constituents occur naturally in the environment, their association with mining operations <br />and potential for migration in the environment are examined. <br />Analytical results from the SPLP tests are compared with the appropriate federal and <br />state water quality regulations and guidelines. These regulations include the Safe <br />Drinking Water Act, National Secondary Drinking Water Standards (not federally <br />enforceable), State of Colorado Basic Standards for Groundwater (5 CCR 1002 -41), and <br />Colorado Agricultural Standards. <br />14.1 Results of SPLP Tests <br />Laboratory SPLP results for chemical constituents of interest are presented in Table 6 <br />along with applicable water quality standards and guidelines. <br />O'Connor Design Group Inc.
