V. STORM WATER ~UAIJTY CONTROL <br />A. SWMP Administrator: <br />Lance Wade, Mine Manager <br />Ross L. Gubka, P.E., Chief Engineer <br />Jim Guire, Production Supervisor <br />Truman Tooker, Production Supervisor <br />B. Risk Identification and Assessment: <br />-Loading and unloading of overburden material. There will be a possible <br />increase in sedimentation in the permit area surface water. All surface <br />water will go through sediment ponds to remove excess total suspended <br />solids before being discharged into public waterways. Any potential natural <br />toxic material will be placed in the bottom of the backfill to protect the <br />ground water after reclamation is complete. High sediment from within the <br />working pit area will be allowed to stand for a period of time to allow <br />sediment to drop out. The nearly clean water then will be pumped to a <br />sediment pond so the remaining sediment can be removed before <br />discharging to nearby waterways. <br />-Unloading of petroleum products. A small risk of spills. There will always be <br />someone supervising the unloading of petroleum products to assure no <br />spillage occurs or to notify and start cleanup procedures immediately. <br />-0utdoor storage of chemicals or equipment. All tanks over 500 gallons have <br />impervious catchment containers that are capable of containing the volume <br />from the largest tank. Fifty-five gallon drums are stored in the warehouse <br />until needed. All equipment is inspected for safety, defects,and leaks before <br />each working shift. <br />-0utdoor milling or processing activities. There are no processing facilities <br />located on site to contribute potential pollutants. <br />-Historic mine drainage. There are no old mines located in the permit area. <br />There are old uranium tailings in the surrounding area that could contribute <br />to polluting public water. <br />-Tailings ponds. There are no tailings ponds in the permit area or in the <br />immediate area. <br />-0rushing facilities or significant dust and particulate generating activities. <br />There are no crushing facilities on site. Dust from roads is controlled by a <br />water truck. <br />~- <br />
