Actions taken to respond to and correct the emergency situation or condition <br /> • Once the dumped material was identified an investigation was immediately <br /> commenced. The inspection of the Large Truck Shop area was completed with no <br /> additional material sighted. <br /> • Samples were taken of the material. <br /> • A Cat 993K loader recovered the dumped material using an 'over-excavation' <br /> approach. Depth of recovery was approximately 40-48 inches and extending about 5 <br /> feet around the boundary of the material. <br /> • The excavated soil was transported by a Cat 777G to the Squaw Gulch Valley Leach <br /> Facility (VLF) and placed on the bench elevation on liner to ensure no loss during <br /> transportation. Both pieces of equipment used for recovery operations were <br /> inspected for tailings before reuse. <br /> • The area was again inspected for any sign of tailings and samples were taken of the <br /> soil for verification of full recovery. <br /> b. Any known or adverse impacts to human health, property or the environment <br />
