Fuels and lubricants for equipment are stored in the fuel and in the generator buildings. <br />Adequate secondary containment is in place to contain the largest spill, per EPA regulations, <br />and to keep it from reaching surface waters of the US. <br />During periods of temporary cessation designated chemicals will either be securely stored <br />within the EPFs and secondary containment, or removed from the site for the duration of the <br />cessation. No designated chemicals will be disposed of onsite during any temporary cessation. <br />When the site enters the reclamation phase all unused designated chemicals remaining will be <br />removed from the site and returned to the manufacturer or disposed of offsite according to the <br />manufacturer's recommendations and Federal, State, and local regulations. Reclamation will <br />then be completed according to the approved reclamation plan. No designated chemicals will <br />be disposed of onsite when the permit area is reclaimed. <br />The mill facility does not discharge any additionally generated waters from the permitted site <br />and underground water is monitored. Details are included in Sections 10 and 12. Due to site <br />design, storm water is not anticipated to ever contact designated chemicals and is either <br />diverted from the permitted area by berms or contained within the permitted area by the lower <br />dam, which could be considered tertiary containment. <br />7 FACILITIES EVALUATION (RPF) <br />EPF 1- Mill building <br />All chemicals for processing of ore are stored within this building. Since the building is <br />constructed with concrete floors and stem walls, containment exceeds requirements for all <br />containers by greater than 300 percent. The floors are intact in in good condition to retain any <br />fluid spills. <br />Chemical storage (dry and liquid) is secure and within secondary containment in the mill <br />building. The gravity and flotation extraction methods used in the process do not include the <br />use of any cyanide or mercury, as these chemicals are not associated with processing. <br />All chemicals are stored in their original containers, or in labeled reagent containers, on pallets <br />off of the floor level with spill trays underneath the pallets as applicable. These trays would <br />contain any spillage created during normal daily drawings. Any spills that would exceed this <br />containment would be contained within the mill building. <br />In the event spillage, spill kits are immediately available within the building. <br />4 <br />
