Cross-Caribou Mine (M1977-410) Technical Revision No. 6 <br /> 6. Spill prevention measures <br /> • Because the Cross/Caribou Mines have limited fuel and oil on-site,the spill prevention plan is <br /> basic. All the roads on-site have a 2-10-foot berm built in so that if there were to be a spill, it <br /> would be contained to the road. <br /> • In the event of a spill on the road,the clean-up process would follow these guidelines: <br /> ■ Assess the spill and determine whether help is needed. Making sure that <br /> the source of the spill is isolated as soon as safely possible is paramount. <br /> ■ Contain the spill to prevent it from spreading. It is vital to keep an oil or fuel <br /> spill away from drains or water. <br /> ■ Notify Supervisors and/or management that a spill has occurred. If other <br /> local authorities need to be informed, management will make that decision. <br /> ■ Always were Personal Protective Equipment(PPE). PPE is a critical piece of <br /> dealing with any oil or fuel spill and cleanup. <br /> ■ When possible, absorb the spill with absorbents. The goal is to remove all <br /> the containment from the ground, even if it means digging up some soil <br /> where oil has penetrated the surface. 3M Oil Absorbent pads are kept <br /> stocked on site. <br /> ■ Dispose of waste absorbent by placing it into sealed plastic bags. The bags <br /> of refuse should be transported to a registered hazardous waste disposal site. <br /> 7 <br />
