Introduction <br /> Purpose <br /> The Material Containment Plan (MCP) is to describe measures implemented by Ouray Silver Mines <br /> Inc., (OSMI) to provide guidance for the storage, use, cleanup, training, and reporting associated <br /> with the use of mill chemicals on site. In addition, the MCP prepares OSM to respond in a safe, <br /> effective, and timely manner to mitigate the impacts of a site emergency. <br /> This MCP is used as a reference for chemical storage information and testing records, as a tool to <br /> communicate practices on preventing and responding to spill/releases with employees, as a guide <br /> to facility inspections, and as a resource during emergency response. <br /> This Plan provides guidance on key actions that OSM must perform to ensure safety of the <br /> employees, facility, and environment: <br /> • Complete monthly and annual site inspections as outlined in the Inspection, Tests, and <br /> Records section of this Plan (Section 3.6) using the inspection checklists. <br /> • Perform preventive maintenance of equipment, secondary containment systems, and <br /> spill/release prevention systems described in this Plan as needed to keep them in proper <br /> operating conditions. <br /> • Conduct annual employee training as outlined in the Personnel, Training, and Spill <br /> Prevention Procedures section of this Plan (Section 3.7) and document them on the log. <br /> • Review the MCP Plan at least once every five (5) years and update, if necessary, it to include <br /> more effective prevention and control technology if such technology will significantly reduce <br /> the likelihood of a spill event and has been proven effective in the field at the time of the <br /> review. Plan amendments, other than administrative changes discussed above, must be <br /> recertified by a Professional Engineer on the certification page in Section 1.2 of this Plan. <br /> • Amend the MCP Plan within six (6) months whenever there is a change in facility design, <br /> construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects the facility's spill potential <br /> or materials stored onsite. The revised Plan must be recertified by a Professional Engineer <br /> (PE). <br /> Review the Plan at least once every 5 years. Update the Plan to reflect any "administrative <br /> changes" that are applicable, such as personnel changes or revisions to contact information, such <br /> as phone numbers. Administrative changes must be documented in the Plan review log, but do not <br /> have to be certified by a PE. <br /> Materials Containment Plan (MCP) Page 3 of 33 May 2021 <br />
