water in accordance with the Safe
Drinking Water Act. The groundwater
containing uranium is then processed
through an ion-exchange facility where
the uranium is precipitated onto a resin
bead media. The water is recharged with
solvent and used in the further recovery
of uranium. Any excess water no longer
needed is evaluated for its constituents
and properly disposed of via
evaporation or an approved disposal
well. The resin beads containing
uranium will then be transported to the
Cameco Smith Ranch-Highland facility
for processing into uranium yellowcake.
After the uranium has been removed,
the resin bead media will be returned to
the Project site for re-use. The distance
one-way from the Gas Hills to Smith
Ranch-Highland is approximately 140
road miles.
The Project activities will include the
drilling of exploratory boreholes;
installation of monitoring wells,
injection wells, and production wells;
construction of uranium processing and
waste water treatment facilities; and
development of new and improvement
of existing access roads within
separately defined potential uranium
recovery areas known as mine units.
Surface-disturbing and interimreclamation activities will be performed
sequentially to minimize the amount of
surface disturbance at any one time.
Surface disturbance within a mine
unit will not occur all at once but is
phased over several years, depending on
the uranium production rate and the
availability of mine construction
equipment and personnel. Cameco
estimates that of the approximately
1,205 acres that will be disturbed over
the 25-year life of the Project,
approximately 50 acres (4 percent of the
total acreage) each year will be
disturbed, undergo interim reclamation,
and subsequently be returned to wildlife
habitat that meets BLM and State of
Wyoming reclamation standards. Final
surface reclamation is also required by
regulatory agencies and assured by
bonds. Final reclamation includes
plugging and abandoning all mining
wells, removing header houses and
buried piping, and re-grading and
seeding the disturbed surface. After
vegetation has been re-established, the
mine unit surface will be returned to its
pre-mining use of livestock grazing and
wildlife habitat. Cameco estimates that
the long-term post-mining footprint will
be negligible because the ISR mining
method does not require removal of
rock.
Restoration of groundwater to premining quality and final surface
reclamation within a mine unit is also
a sequenced, phased process. When

uranium production from a mining unit
is no longer feasible economically,
groundwater production wells will be
switched to groundwater restoration.
Restoration is accomplished through a
combination of methods, including
reinjection of treated groundwater,
bioremediation, and addition of
reducing chemicals that make the
uranium insoluble and clean the
groundwater. Once Cameco has restored
the groundwater within a mine unit to
pre-mining quality, as required and
monitored by regulatory agencies and
assured by financial bonds, final surface
reclamation will be implemented.
Groundwater sampling data suggests
that mining unit groundwater quality is
generally marginally potable but does
exhibit certain parameters, including
radionuclides, which exceed primary or
secondary maximum contaminant levels
for drinking water standards.
Cameco estimates that the Project will
employ a mix of full-time personnel and
temporary contractors throughout the
life of the mine. During the construction
of each mine unit, approximately 15 to
20 full-time employees plus 50 drilling
contractors will be employed. During
mining operations, approximately 30
full-time employees plus approximately
22 installation contractors will be
required. It is likely that the majority of
employees will live in Riverton and the
remainder in Casper. The Project is
projected to provide an economic
benefit through a variety of taxes paid
to Federal, State, and local governments,
including employee income, severance,
property, and sales taxes. The proposed
action is in conformance with the
Lander Resource Management Plan/
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(LRMP/Final EIS) and Record of
Decision (ROD), 1987, and the Casper
Resource Management Plan (CRMP/EIS)
and ROD, 2007. During the preparation
of the EIS, interim exploration and
development will be subject to
development guidelines and decisions
made in applicable NEPA documents,
including the CRMP, 2007 and the
LRMP, 1987. The EIS for the Project will
analyze the environmental
consequences of implementing the
proposed action and alternatives to the
proposed action, including a No Action
alternative. Other alternatives that may
be considered in detail could include,
for example, drilling surface densities,
reclamation schedule adjustments, or
perhaps a pace of development different
from those of the proposed action.
Your input is important and will be
considered in the environmental
analysis process. All comment
submittals must include the
commenter’s name and street address.
