Wildlife • NEWMONT 2.5 Buildings and Administrative Areas Care should be taken to properly dispose of food waste in order to reduce wildlife attraction. Rodent control methods should be employed to minimize hygiene hazards and reduce predator (such as fox) attractions. 2.6 Property-Wide Considerations All spills and releases shall be cleaned up immediately to ensure wildlife do not come in direct or indirect (mobilized through storm-water runoff) contact with the product. Please refer to CC&V's Spill Prevention and Countermeasure Plans for further guidance (controlled document NA-CCV-SER-Plan-I926, 2223.1930). Bow hunting on CC&V property is permitted within specified periods, following required approvals and permission from CC&V. This practice is not guaranteed and is reviewed periodically. Hunting with firearms is strictly prohibited on CC&V property. Herding or intentionally chasing or harassing wildlife is prohibited. Feeding wildlife is prohibited by Colorado state law. Under state law violators face a $50 fine. As needed, communication will be undertaken to educate personnel on the requirements for the management and interaction with wildlife. 3 Maintenance and Inspections of Preventive Measures 3.1 Inspections All process and mine operation areas should be inspected on a weekly basis for wildlife activity and sightings. These inspections shall be reported to S&ER and recorded in a Wildlife Database managed by S&ER personnel. Each department on site should conduct inspections as it applies to their work area. For example: • Process is responsible for inspecting process areas such as lined process ponds and the Valley Leach Facilities. • Mine Operations is responsible for inspecting excavated and disturbed areas, stormwater sumps and ponds, the Ames and Crusher ponds, and highwalls that pertain to operational areas. • Departments that have the potential to spill potentially harmful products are responsible for inspecting their areas and managing the cleanup of spills that occur. • Exploration is responsible for excavations (sumps) and other exploration related projects that could potentially adversely affect wildlife. • The Projects Department is responsible for sites that are under construction and related activities that are coordinated through this department.
