Mine <br />2004 SPCC <br />• 5.0 DISCHARGE PREVENTION AND ROUTINE HANDLING OF PRODUCTS <br />In order to comply with regulatory requirements, procedures must, be implemented to help <br />prevent the discharge of oil products at Trapper Mine. The following sections outline the <br />procedures that will be followed at Trapper Mine for discharge prevention and routine handling <br />of products. It should be noted that Trapper is covered under a CDPS discharge permit and all <br />drainage must be routed through sediment basins and CDPS dischazge points. <br />Delivery personnel from Sinclair are instructed in procedures to prevent fuel spills. The <br />following BMP's (best management practices) have been noted during the transfer of fuels from <br />Sinclair's tankers to onsite storage tanks. <br />1. The tanker truck has an overfill alarm, <br />2. Reversible pumps are mounted on the tanker truck and these can be activated to "suck" fuel <br />back into the tanker's fuel compartments, <br />3. The truck driver watches the outside fuel gauge and also measures the contents manually as a <br />precautionary check, <br />4. The pipe going into the tank from the pump has aone-way valve that prevents backflow, and <br />• 5. Prior to departure from the fueling unloading point, the tanker truck driver inspects all hoses, <br />fittings, caps, and connections for leaks. <br />Sinclair drivers are all trained and experienced in dealing with spills. In addition, Sinclair has a <br />spill plan and conducts training for all its drivers and delivery personnel. <br />Delivery personnel must receive the proper training before delivery of any product, and drivers <br />must remain in the unloading azea and monitor the complete transfer of oil from start to finish. <br />The unloading procedures that have been developed aze as follows: <br />1. Back-in the proper distance to the tank, try not to block roadways, and keep your safety and <br />the truck in mind. <br />2. Visually check that the oil storage tank will hold a full load of oil. This is done by looking at <br />the tank gauge or checking with the appropriate mine foreman or wazehouse foreman. <br />3. Make sure that the oil is going into the correct tank. This means checking to make sure the <br />correct valves are open. Double check valves to ensure proper flow. <br />I• <br />16 <br />
