Spill .. and CountermeasuresNEWMONT •r the Cresson Project NORTH AMFPICA .• Relations 3.6 Tank Truck Loading and Unloading Area This facility is not equipped with a loading/unloading(LU) rack. There are tank truck LU areas designated LU1, LU2, and LU3 located at the MIFF(Figure 4)and LU4 located on the west side of the Ironclad Warehouse(Figure 3).The tank trucks and the facility are equipped with sufficient general secondary containment and sufficient active measures to respond to a most likely release during a transfer.As an added containment measure,the LU activities are performed within areas that contain a liner. The following procedures primarily relate to on-site movement and use of oils,fuels, and chemicals.Team Members involved in chemical handling(including oils)will receive instruction on safe handling of storage containers and materials handling during product transfers: • Storage Containers: (1) Driving vehicles(trucks and forklifts)carefully and in accordance with weather and other conditions to avoid collisions or ruptures of storage containers; and (2)constructing adequate berms and barriers to protect storage containers. • Storage Containers: Making certain that there is adequate clearance when positioning a truck or equipment adjacent to storage areas or distribution points and ensuring that the operator has examined the surroundings to identify where a spill would go and how they would control it. • Storage Containers: Checking to make sure containers are securely placed to prevent tipping and spilling and in a manner that prevents collisions with mobile equipment. • Transfer of Materials: Examining fittings and transfer lines or hoses to be assured of tight-fits that will not come apart during transfer. • Transfer of Materials: Examining fittings to assure they are in proper working order and do not leak or lose fluid during transfer. • Transfer of Materials: Ensuring that valves are closed and transfer pipes are drained or contained prior to disconnect. • Transfer of Materials: Examining the "weak spots" of any transfer procedure and visualizing where the substances would flow if released,and planning what control measures would be used should a transfer line break or leak.Taking a second look at these"weak points"to see if anything can be done to further prevent release. A standard operating procedure(SOP)for fueling heavy equipment at the MFF is attached in Appendix H. 3.7 Responsibilities of Response Coordinator and CC&V Team Members The S&ER Senior Environmental Manager will act as the Environmental Response Coordinator(ERC)for CC&V under the auspices of this Plan.The ERCs responsibilities will include: (1) implementing this plan in the event a spill occurs, (2)coordinating the clean-up activities, (3)filling out the appropriate forms to document the spill, (4) ensuring compliance with all provisions of this plan, and (5) providing the required training for employees in the procedures defined in this plan. It is the responsibility of each CC&V Team Member to prevent releases of fluids that might contaminate water draining from the site and to control such releases should they occur. However, in the event of a spill it is imperative that any Team Member with knowledge of a release immediately notifies his/her supervisor and then completes a Cintellate report(Prospector site).Supervisors or second level responders are responsible for notifying S&ER when releases occur. Releases exceeding the RQ listed in Section 1.3 of this Plan must be brought to the attention of S&ER immediately. -----------------------------.-_.-._ -----------_-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------_---------------------- Department THIS DOCUMENT IS UNCONTROLLED IN HARDCOPY FORMAT i Doc Id:NA-CCV-SER-PLAN- 1930 ._...----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i
