be found to exist in greater concentrations than those found in regulatory standards, then <br />these designated chemicals remaining within the permitted area would be removed and <br />returned to the manufacturer or disposed of offsite according to the manufacturer's <br />recommendations and Federal, State, and local regulations. Any naturally occurring <br />compounds would be handled as per applicable to State and Federal standards. <br />Although not a designated chemical per Rule DRMS 1.1(13), but important from an <br />environmental stewardship perspective, an above ground fuel storage tank will be located <br />within the permit area. The tank(s) will have secondary containment as defined in, but not <br />required by 40CRF Part 112. Quantities of any other lubricants or additives that might be used <br />as part of the operation are anticipated to be in quantities below the volume threshold dictated <br />by the regulations. Spills and drips from compounds sourced from these fixed storage <br />containers that reach the ground surface are to be cleaned up and removed as rapidly as <br />possible after they are discovered. <br />7 FACILITIES EVALUATION <br />Per testing and previous evaluations of the permit area, there are no geological or geochemical <br />conditions or anticipated alterations to these conditions by any future operation that might <br />require any specific environmental protection including acid rock generation, acid mine <br />drainage, or designated chemical use. As a result, there are no environmental protection <br />facilities currently required or associated with the permit area, thus none to evaluate. The <br />petrology and mineralogy that might be exposed to the environment as part of the project are <br />to be monitored by a QP, with the monitoring to be conducted on a regular basis, and as part of <br />the general operation. If evidence of rock having net acid generating potential is found, or if <br />low pH groundwater should ever be encountered, then appropriate standard of the industry <br />testing and evaluation will be conducted; first to show the actual presence of acid generation, <br />or acid containing materials, and then to determine the amount of risk and to develop <br />requirements for their proper segregation and isolation. Any and all testing and evaluation is to <br />be performed by, or under the specific direction of a QP. <br />There are currently no designated chemicals being used on the site. However, if in the future <br />the use of designated chemicals begins, all designated chemicals used in conjunction with the <br />operation would be stored properly and handled in compliance with applicable State and <br />Federal laws and regulations including spill prevention, containment, and countermeasures <br />applicable to the chemical or compound of concern. The plan will take into account, each <br />specific designated chemical, its appropriate relationship with the project, and its potential <br />effect on the site, human health, and the environment. <br />4 <br />
