Re: Responses to NRC Remaining Bond Surety Revision Issues
Dear John:
This letter provides responses to the remaining bond surety revision issues identified by theU.S. NRC in their letter dated May 22, 2007.
Item #1:
An estimate of the cost (e.g., delineation, excavation, removal and disposal) of impactedsoils resulting from lixiviant or other liquid releases related to uranium recovery andprocessing operations. A review of SR-HUP spill reports docketed in the Publicly AvailableRecords (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and ManagementSystem (ADAMS) since October 2001, indicates 37 reported liquid releases. These includeliquid releases related to wellfield, headerhouse, Satellite facility, Central Processing Plant,and Deep Well Disposal operations.
Response to Item #1
The cost to delineate, excavate, dispose, recontour, and reseed areas impacted by surfacespills is estimated on a "per well basis" and can be located in the current 2007 Surety Bondproposal previously submitted June 30, 2007. PRI has adopted the previously approvedCrow Butte Resources method for determination of impacted soils and incorporated into thecurrent sureties. The Smith Ranch surety estimate can be found on the WF REC. Tab, itemIII and item IV on the Highland surety estimate. The estimated costs for Smith Ranch is$137,108.00 and Highland $ 131,186.82 and can be found on the Attached 2007 SuretyEstimate.
Item #2:
An analysis of the potential for surface releases to infiltrate into the underlying surficialaquifer at SR-HUP. If this analysis indicates the likelihood of surficial aquifer water qualityimpact from surface releases, the cost to investigate the nature and extent of the impact, andremediation of the surficial aquifer, should be addressed in the rebaselined surety estimate.It should be noted that of the 38 reported liquid releases discussed above, four containedvolumes of between 18,000 and 62,400 gallons, with no reported recovered amount.

Response to Item #2
The first aquifer at the SR-HUP is located between 150 to 300 feet below the surface. Acrossthe site, and throughout this depth, the geology is composed of predominantly thickly beddedclaystone, mudstone, shale, siltstone, and lesser sandstone of the Wasatch and Fort UnionFormations.
An example of the geology above the first aquifer is provided in a recently completed well ata spill site in Mine Unit H, 6/22/07. The geophysical and lithologic logs of this hole areprovided in Attachment A.
The average sedimentary sequence above the first aquifer at the SR-HUP consists of atleast 120 feet of low-permeability claystone, mudstone, shale, and siltstone. This isconsistent with observations in the well logs provided in Attachment A (130 out of 175 feet ofsediments above the water table are of low permeability). As a result, any surface spills willbe greatly limited in vertical extent and the rate of any residual movement would be veryslow. This information, in conjunction with estimates of the depth of soil impacts presentedin the response to Item 1 (less than 15 feet), PRI does not anticipate that surficial spills willimpact the first aquifer at the SR-HUP. Because of these factors, PRI anticipates no cost toinvestigate or remediate the surficial aquifer at spill locations.
Item #3:
An analysis of the expected life span of mine unit (well field) metal pipes and fittings. Thisanalysis should consider industry experience with the failure rate and timing of metal pipesand pipe fittings due to corrosion and the anticipated operating periods (production andrestoration) of the well fields. Using this analysis as a basis, the costs associated with pipeand pipe fitting repair/replacement should be addressed in the rebaselined surety estimate.
Response to Item #3
Between 2001 - 2006, SR-HUP had 38 reportable spills. This equates to 0.09 % of the totalproduction and injection wells having reportable spills within a five year period.Consequently, this averages 7.6 spills per year from wells carrying 11 e2 materials.
Based on historical records documenting parts failures for injection and production wells, andthe cost to replace these parts, PRI estimates the cost to replace pipes and parts on 0.09%of existing wells would be approximately $1255.66 per year. All assumptions andcalculations associated with this cost estimate are provided in Attachment B.
PRI recommends this cost be used for purposes of estimating replacement part costs for the
rebaselined bond surety estimate.
Item #4:
Please provide restoration mass-balance flow charts for Smith Ranch, Highland, ReynoldsRanch, Gas Hills, and North Butte well fields to confirm water disposal capacity is consistent
Remaining Surety Issues.doc 2 July 31, 2007
WorleyParsons Komexresources & energy
with anticipated restoration sequence, flow volumes, and storage capacities. If these mass-balance flow charts are not consistent with current water disposal capacity, the costsassociated with increasing the water disposal capacity for each of these sites should beaddressed in the rebaselined surety estimate.
Response to Item #4
The mass balance flow charts for current and future operations are provided in Figures 1 and2, respectively. As these charts illustrate, there is adequate current water disposal capacity.By adding the capacity provided by Deep Disposal Well (DDW) #3, there is also adequatefuture disposal capacity.
Future satellite operations at Gas Hills, Reynolds Ranch, and North Butte will utilize on-sitewater disposal (e.g. deep disposal wells and/or evaporation ponds) and will not affect theliquid balance at SR-HUP other than the small amounts of transported resin liquid.
We hope this addresses the remaining bond surety issues in a satisfactory manner. Pleasecontact me or Mike Franko directly if you have any questions or comments.
Best Regards,WorleyParsons Komex

Between 2001 - 2006, SR-HUP had 38 reportable spills; this equates to 0.09 % of the totalproduction and injection wells having a reportable spills within a five year period.Consequently, this averages 7.6 spills per year from wells carrying 11 e2 materials.
SR-HUP records indicate that likely failure for injection wells occur in the following wellfieldparts (with replacement values indicated).
/ inch pop off - $16.81
1 / X 1 inch reducing collar - 7.181 / inch poly transition - 11.631 inch mpt X smpt hose - 40.004.5 inch completion cap - 50.00/ inch pressure valve - 16.00
¼ inch valve - 19.751 inch nipple - 2.50
Total $163.88
If all parts were replaced during repair and or maintenance, costs would be $164.00 per well.Calculating the total costs for 0.09 % of the injections wells annually:
0.09% X 5902 injection wells = 5.4 wells5.4 wells X $164.00 per well = $ 890.26 annually
SR-HUP records indicate that the likely failures for production wells occur in the followingparts (with replacement values indicated).
2 inch mpt X 1 ½ inch mpt swage - $18.642 3/8 inch eve X 1 ½ fpt swage - 55.502 3/8 inch ewe X 1 ½ inch reducer collar - 36.671 ½ inch X 1 inch reducing collar - 11.261 inch mpt X smpt hose - 40.00
Total $162.07
If all parts were replaced during repair and or maintenance, costs would be $ 162.00 perproduction well. If 0.09% of all production wells were repaired or replaced annually:
0.09 % X 2361 production wells = 2.2 wells
2.2 wells X $ 162.00 = $ 356.40
Total parts replacement on 0.09 % of injection and production wells:
