a. An evaluation of the personnel requirements and qualifications for the operation and management of <br />the Facility, including an evaluation of each individual's role, duties, and responsibility in ensuring the <br />proper operation and maintenance of the Facility. <br />b. An evaluation of influent pollutant concentrations for all parameters/pollutants that could influence the <br />treatment process, how each pollutant influences the treatment process, and what techniques or <br />technologies (as they relate to the evaluated pollutants) maybe utilized to produce effluent that is <br />consistently in compliance with the Permit effluent limitations. <br />c. An evaluation of the differences between current and past operation and treatment techniques, and <br />how those differences in techniques may be utilized to consistently produce effluent that is in <br />compliance with the Permit effluent limitations, <br />d. An evaluation ofthe operating equipment, back-upfreserve equipment, treatment additives, treatment <br />ponds, and other physical systems used in the Facility's treatment process and the impacts of each of <br />these items on the Facility's ability to comply with the terms and conditions ofthe Pemut. Concurrent <br />with this shall be an evaluation of treatment options available to Gold King; but not currently utilized <br />in the Facility treatment process. The evaluation should specifically address, but not be limited to, an <br />evaluation oftreatment pond #1, which a Division inspector found on September 8, 2004 to be full of <br />sludge and bypassed by the waste stream. <br />e. An evaluation of monitoring/sampling procedures and methods at the Facility, including, at a <br />minimum, the evaluation of laboratory and field sampling methods/procedures, sampling equipment, <br />sampling locations, sampling frequencies and schedules for both process control sampling and <br />compliance sampling. <br />f. An evaluation of whether the Facility's treatment system as a whole is adequate to properly treat the <br />influent pollutants to a level that consistently complies with the effluent limitations of the Pemut. <br />25. Within sixty (60) calendar days ofreceipt of this Order, Gold King shall provide documentation to the <br />Division that it has retained the services of the qualified individual identified in paragraph 24. This <br />documentation shall include at, a minimum, a copy of the written contract for such services and a copy <br />of the scope of services to be provided. <br />26. Within one hundred and fifty (150) calendar days of receipt of this Order, Gold King shall submit in <br />writing to the Division a final report on the findings of the evaluation identified in pazagraph 24. Along <br />with the findings of the evaluation, the report must identify, for each criterion, specific short-term and <br />long-term measures that will be taken by Gold King to rectify deficiencies identified by the evaluation <br />so that the Facility consistently produces effluent in compliance with the terms and conditions of the <br />Permit; specifically the effluent limitatons identified in the Permit. For each short-term and long-term <br />measure identified, Gold King shall also submit a time schedule for completion of each measure. The <br />time schedule submitted shall become a condition of this Order, and Gold King shall comply with the <br />time schedule as submitted unless notified by the Division, in writing, that an alternate schedule is <br />appropriate. If the Division imposes an alternate schedule, it shall also become a condition of this <br />Order. <br />Gold King Mines Corporation <br />Notice of Violation/Cease and Desist Order <br />Page 7 of I l <br />
