D. Spill Prevention and Procedures. See Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure <br />Plan. <br />E. Spill Prevention and Response Procedure. See Spill Prevention Control and <br />Countermeasure Plan. <br />F. Best Management Practice. All Storm Water Management Plan segments are in <br />effect. Ditches, sediment ponds and some diversion ditches were constructed <br />before mining started. <br />1. A storm water diversion ditch is planned to be constructed in 1994 <br />that will divert clean storm water from undisturbed land around the <br />actual mining operation. The water will sell flow through a sediment <br />pond to assure the water meets effluent levels before being <br />discharged to waterways. <br />2. Material handling and spill prevention. Bulk petroleum storage tanks <br />are all located above ground for ease of leak detection. They are also <br />surrounded by impervious dikes to contain any spillage or leakage. All <br />surface water is diverted around these storage area. Small drums of <br />chemicals and petroleum products are stored in covered warehouse <br />facilities. Also, on site, are bales of organic oil absorbing material to <br />be used in case of oil spillage. This product is kept at key locations so <br />it can be easily accessed to prevent pollutants from spreading and <br />entering waterways. <br />3. Sediment and Erosion Prevention. Ditches and sediment ponds have <br />been constructed to control sediment from entering State waterways. <br />For the few monitoring roads that do not drain into sediment ponds, <br />they are graded, water bars are built across steep sections, and <br />roadside ditches are constructed to control sediment runoff. Silt <br />fencing, straw bales and earthen berms are used to control sediment <br />runoff for small disturbed areas that are not covered by sediment <br />ponds. <br />G. Employee education. The Spill Prevention Control and Counter Measure Plan is <br />discussed with every new employee during their initial training. The SPCC Plan is <br />reviewed yearly with all old employees. As new issues arise or conditions change, <br />everyone is educated on the correct procedures. Employee awareness of Storm <br />Water Management is a continual task and wdl be discussed frequently. <br />H. Testing for Non-Stormwater. Water quality before it enters, while it is on site and <br />before it leaves the site is tested routinely as specified by the SurFace Coal Mine <br />Permit. <br />f- <br />
