Spill •. CountermeasuresNEWMONT •r the Cresson Project NORTH AMFRIC'A .• Relations 3.8 Training The spill response program includes specific training in clean up and detoxification for selected team members.At least one of the specially trained Team Members will be on site 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. In the event of a spill, these specially trained Team Members will be immediately dispatched to the site to assist in clean up and detoxification efforts.Appropriate equipment will be available to detoxify solutions and to transport any spilled material for ultimate disposal in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. In the event of a potentially hazardous material spill,the plan will be to contain,detoxify(if necessary),and clean up. Detoxifying agents for cyanide and acids will be kept available at the mine for use as needed. Clean-up personnel are trained in the proper detoxification procedures for each type of material.Acids used on site can be neutralized with the addition of lime and water. Lime can be added directly to the spill area in the powder form. For cyanide detoxification, Calcium Hypochlorite will typically be used. Records of the training sessions shall be kept on the form shown in Appendix A and maintained with this Plan for a period of three years. 3.9 Team Member Safety Operating areas of the mine are subject to the Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA") regulations and practices. MSHA requires mining companies to comply with the comprehensive law governing the health and safety of employees. In addition to MSHA regulations and inspections,CC&V has a Safety Department that provides safety and training courses to employees.This department also has the responsibility for the day-to-day inspection and correction of worker performance. Prior to an employee performing assigned duties,the person is trained to understand safety measures. In emergency situations,the rescuer can become a victim because the proper precautions have not been taken before attempting a rescue.With adequate training and knowledge of safety measures, most accidents can be avoided. Safety conducts training for appropriate individuals concerning safe handling,clean up, and emergency medical treatment for the various materials used at the project. New employees are instructed upon hiring. Periodic refresher courses are given. In case of a medical emergency,Team Members are trained to announce a "Code 90"on the mine radio.Safety, supervisors,and the Mine Rescue Team are trained in appropriate response procedures. 3.10 Contractor Locations There are several areas within the boundaries of the CC&V mine site where contractors perform construction, maintenance, or related operations and where petroleum products or other environmentally sensitive materials may be stored and used. Contractor operations include: • Ironclad area—Buckley Powder's Bulk Emulsion Plant • Western area (including ADR-2)-Conley Construction and Ames Construction • East of the VLF-1 and Southeast of the Secondary Crusher—Various Contractors • Contract exploratory drilling-Boart Longyear and Timberline throughout the mine site • Seasonal Construction-locations vary • Contract Maintenance(Power Motive,Wagner, et al)-locations vary The details of storage, use and control measures at contractor sites are not presented here. Instead,these areas will be maintained by the identified contractors and will be periodically inspected by CC&V S&ER department to ensure compliance. Each of the identified operators is required to have appropriate spill prevention,control, and countermeasures in effect at each of their sites within CC&V property. ------- - ------- ------ ------- ------- ------- -------- - --- ----- Department THIS DOCUMENT IS UNCONTROLLED IN HARDCOPY FORMAT Doc Id:NA-CCV-SER PLAN- 1930
