Trapper Mine 2004 SPCC <br />• 6.0 COUNTERMEASURES FOR DISCHARGE DISCOVERY, RESPONSE, <br />CLEANUP AND DISPOSAL <br />Procedures have been implemented to minimize the risk of a release of oil from the site. <br />However, if a spill were to occur, the following procedures have been implemented to properly <br />handle the spill. <br />6.1 COUNTERMEASURES <br />Oil Absorbent ("oil dry", "kitty litter" or "bentonite") is kept at Trapper Mine and can be easily <br />accessed to respond to smaller spills (less than 25 gallons). Buckets, drums, and shovels aze <br />available in various locations throughout the mine and can be used to help control smaller spills. <br />Oil spills from vehicles being serviced can be readily cleaned up by employees using the oil <br />absorbent, shovels, and buckets. <br />Larger spills from ruptured tanks can be contained by constructing earthen dikes using front-end <br />loaders or other heavy machinery at Trapper Mine, as long as it is safe and reasonable to do so. <br />In the unlikely event of a major spill (several thousand gallons), a local outside emergency <br />response contractor may be contacted to assist with clean-up operations. One Colorado spill <br />• response company that Trapper may use in an emergency is Rocky Mountain Catastrophe, 6762 <br />Lamar St., Arvada, Colorado 80002 (phone: I-800-930-0011). <br />6.2 DISPOSAL METHODS <br />Materials contaminated-including rags and soils with no free liquids luring a clean-up effort <br />should be disposed of properly in the pit (permitted as a solid waste disposal facility). Petroleum <br />contaminated soils (PCS) containing free liquids should be stored in 55-gallon drums until they <br />can be picked-up by a licensed waste hauler and disposed of in an offsite permitted landfill. A <br />Contaminated Soil Documentation form (Appendix 3) will be used to record pertinent <br />information regazding disposal. <br />Rainwater collected within secondazy containments that has an oily sheen or has come into <br />contact with oil products will be drained into 55-gallon drums and picked up by a licensed waste <br />hauler. Uncontaminated rainwater may be discharged from secondary containment as long as <br />mine personnel can insure that this dischazge will not cause an oily sheen on surface waters of <br />the United States. Any release from secondary contairunents must be documented using the <br />Storm Water Release Form provided in Appendix 4. <br />• <br />20 <br />
