Additional perimeter markers are necessary along the NW boundary, which forms the west boundary of Phase 5 area, to ensure
operations remain within the approved affected area. Questions were raised during the inspection regarding the removal of an
island of material remaining at the SW corner of Phase 5 area. DMG inspector could not determine whether the referenced island
of materiel was located within the approved affected area due to absent perimeter markers. Rule 3.1.12121 states that the
boundaries of the affected area will be marked by monuments or other markers that are clearly visible and adequate to delineate
such boundaries.
CORRECTIVE ACTION: Post and maintain perimeter markers for the entire affected area, as required by Rule 3.1.12(21.

3. Mobile fuel tank was located adjacent to the generator trailer. Fuel tank appeared intact, no evidence of rupture or leaking was
observed; however, spill preventionlspill control structures for the fuel tank were not evident. Fuels, lubricants and chemicals
need to be stored in a controlled manner, et a designated location, with adequate spill prevention and spill containment controls
to ensure disturbance to the prevailing hydrologic balance be minimized as required by Rules 3.1.6 and 3.1.7. Spill containment
controls typically include measures such as construction of a containment berm surrounding fuel tank or fluid storage areas. Berm
surrounding the fluid storage area should enclose sufficient area to ensure containment of volume equivalent to tank capacity.
Containment areas should be lined with an impermeable liner to ensure spilt fuel or fluids not escape end degrade quality of
surface and groundwater (Rules 3.1.6 and 3.1.71.
CORRECTIVE ACTION: Ensure protection to the prevailing hydrologic balance, required by Rules 3.1.6 and 3.1.7, by constructing
spill containment structures for all fuel, lubricants and chemicals stored on site, OR remove fuel, lubricants and chemicals from
