Regarding the comment of what responsibility the Vento Trust may have in the future for overflow and water <br />quality from Pond #4, it is presently the responsibility of Energy Fuels Coal Inc to maintain and operate Pond <br />#4 in accordance with the pond's designs approved via TR -33 in such a manner as to ensure that discharges <br />from the pond are in accordance with that pond's discharge permit issued by the Water Quality Control <br />Division of the Colorado Department of Health and Environment. As we indicated previously, Pond #4 is <br />presently approved to be reclaimed. Should you wish Pond #4 be left as a permanent structure, we suggest you <br />contact Energy Fuels Coal Inc and express your wish to the company. Questions regarding the Vento Trust's <br />responsibility for meeting effluent limits from Pond #4 in the event the pond remains as a permanent structure <br />should be addressed to Ms. Kelly Morgan at the Water Quality Control Division. Her phone number is 303- <br />692 -3634. Please be aware that Section 3.03.1(3)(c) of the Board's Rules states, "Where a silt dam is to be <br />retained as a permanent impoundment as described in [Rule] 4.05.6 or 4.05.9, more than 60% of the bond may <br />be released only so long as provisions for sound future maintenance by the permittee or the landowner have <br />been made with the Division ". <br />Regarding the comment that the Discharge Monitoring Report for the first quarter of 2012 is unreadable from <br />our website, we have rescanned the report. It should be readable now. <br />Thank you for your comments. Please feel free to contact me if I may be of any further assistance. <br />Sincerely, <br />Daniel I. Hernandez <br />Senior Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Cc: Loretta E. Pineda, DRMS <br />Page .3 of 3 <br />
