Subject: UIC Permit NE012261 1SM 10-21 Monitor Well Excursion
Dear Ms. Link:
On May 27, 2015 during routine biweekly water sampling of Cameco Resources, Crow ButteOperation (CBO) shallow monitor well SMI 0-21, the single parameter upper control limit (SCL)for chloride was exceeded. As required by Section B. 1 of Part II of UIC Permit NE012261 1, asecond sample was collected within 24 hours and analyzed for the three excursion indicatorparameters. The results of the second sample exceeded the SCL for chloride.
In accordance with Section B. 1 Part II of the UIC permit, CBO increased the sampling frequencyfor SM10-21 to weekly. Weekly samples were obtained from May 27, 2015, to July 29, 2015.The samples collected on July 15, 22, and 29, 2015, were below the excursion criteria fromSection B. 1 of the permit. Based on these results, CBO removed SM10-21 from excursionstatus. In accordance with the requirements of Section B.I1, weekly sampling continued for anadditional three weeks. During the stability monitoring period, the excursion parameters werenot exceeded and SMI0-21 was returned to biweekly sampling status. Attached are copies of theanalytical data for each of the three weekly stability monitoring samples and graphs for eachparameter covering the period of May 12, 2015 through September 29, 2015.
If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please feel free to contact me at (308) 665-2215, ext. 114.
