STORAGE PRACTICES <br />All flammable liquids are stored in approved steel tanks. <br />Dikes or containment structures of adequate size to contain the entire contents of the largest <br />single tail: plus precipitation surround fixed aboveground storage tanks. The bottom and <br />sides of the containment structures are impervious. <br />Mobile portable-type storage tanks, where possible, will be positioned to prevent any spilled <br />product from reaching bodies of water. If this is not possible, precautionary measures will <br />be taken to insure such tanks are protected against accidental collision damage or other <br />conditions that may cause leakage or spills. <br />All drums containing petroleum or other potentially hazardous substances, when not in use <br />will be confined to a specific location. [n storage, the drums will be kept securely stacked <br />in a safe and orderly manner. The drum storage area will comply with the National Fire <br />Protection Code No. 30, "Flammable and Combustible Liquids". <br />All storage facilities are located and secured to prevent flooding, washout, or avalanches. All <br />employees required to operate the oil storage facilities will be instructed to make daily <br />observations of the outside of these facilities for signs of deterioration and leaks that may <br />cause spills, or accumulations of oil within the diked azea. <br />All non-integral storage tanks for heating units, machinery or other equipment which exceed <br />660 gallons incapacity, or an aggregate number of tanks that exceed 1320 gallons will be <br />surrounded by an impervious dike constructed similar to that required for above-ground <br />storage tanks. <br />Diesel, gasoline and oil are delivered to Deserado Mine on an as needed basis by contract. <br />A Blue Mountain Energy Lubrication Truck is used to deliver fuel and lubricants to remote <br />locations on the mine site. This vehicle has a Colorado Hazardous Materials Permit to <br />transport limited quantities at a time.
