Specific Security Measures for Individual Facilities <br />• Typically, specific facility security measures employed at Climax Mine include the following: <br />• Fuel Dispensers (Pumps and Tanks): berms, metal post barricades, and warning signs. <br />Climax personnel and contractor employees make periodic random inspections. <br />• Chemical Storage Areas: locked buildings and/or tanks, berms, metal post barricades, <br />fencing, and warning signs. Climax personnel and contractor employees make periodic <br />random inspections. <br />• Water Treatment Facilities: locked buildings and/or tanks, fences and gates, metal post <br />bamcades, warning signs. Climax personnel and contractor employees make periodic <br />random inspections. <br />Other individual security measures are discussed in the specific facility sections of the <br />SPCC/MCP. <br />2.4 SPILL ffiSTORY <br />The Climax Mine site facilities and water/tailing systems, as currently designed, minimize the <br />potential for spills to have a detrimental effect on waters of the State of Colorado. In most cases, <br />• materials onsite at Climax Mine are contained by primary containment structures like tanks or <br />drums, which aze, in turn, contained by secondary structures like berms, floor drains and sumps, <br />or a combination of the above. Tertiary containment for most locations consists of the Climax <br />Mine tailing ponds. <br />For the three years prior to this revision (May 2004) of the SPCC/MCP Climax has had only one <br />spill or upset as described in the following narrative: <br />During a routine storrnwater inspection conducted in October 2001 a new seepage of water was <br />encountered at the base of Eagle Park Reservoir's dam. By November 21, 2001, Climax had <br />excavated an azea behind an existing concrete cutoff wall and backfilled the excavation with a <br />bentonite/soil mixture as a sealing agent to stop the seepage flow. The seepage area remains wet, <br />but there is no discernible flow. Since seepage has been controlled successfully no further action <br />is required. Two notification letters (October 11 and November 21, 2001) and an initial phone <br />call (October 9, 2001) were directed to the Colorado Department of Health and Environment <br />relating this incident. <br />_~ <br />5 <br />
