L • (Page 2) • MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID M-78-352 INSPECTION DATE 9-24-96 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GSC OBSERVATIONS This was a follow-up inspection to verify completion of corrective actions conducted in response to the Division's inspection conducted on 7-29-96. Mr. Claude Gerard of Roaring Fork Resources was present during the inspection. Problem 1: There is inadequate spill containment for fuel tanks located near the crusher, wash plant and scale house. The following spill containment measures are considered adequate: Scale house fuel tank - An additional plastic liner was installed beneath the worn liner already in place. The earthen containment berm was reinforced. The 10,000 gallon steel fuel tank by the crusher - An earthen spill containment berm lined with plastic has been installed below this fuel tank. The liner has been covered with sand to protect it from the sun. The following spill containment measures are not considered adequate: Wash Plant Area - An earthen berm had been constructed around the 2,000-4,000 gallon fuel tank located by the wash plant. The berm is insufficient along one side of the tank and the remaining walls of the berm are too close to the tank to allow for adequate emergency storage capacity. This tank may be located too close to the wash plant and conveyors to allow for sufficient room to construct an adequate berm and it may be necessary to relocate it or consider an alternate type of spill containment such as concrete. Mr. Gerard requested a two week extension to empty the remaining fuel in the tank and complete the corrective action. The Division accepts the operator's request to complete this corrective action and the new due date for completion is October 9, 1996. Photographic verification is due no later than 10-16-96. A 100 gallon waste oil tank and some drums of lubricant are located in the vicinity of the equipment maintenance area near the wash plant. The tank and all drums on-site need to be placed in lined storage area(s) with adequate spill containment. This needs to be completed and photographic verification submitted to the Division no later than 10-16-96. See Problem PB-1. No other problems were identified.
