5.2.1.4 Number 6 Crusher Lube Room <br />• Chemicals: #14 Standazd Lube, #15 Standazd Lube, antifreeze, cazburetor cleaner, solvents, <br />AMOLITH Grease No. 2, and dirty Lube oil. (At the time of inspection, April 10, 2003, a[[ tanks <br />were labeled "EMPTY". As long as Climax Mine is under care and maintenance, then this <br />facility will be considered inactive.) <br />Description: Various greases and oils used to lubricate machinery parts, geazs, and equipment in <br />the Number 6 Crusher Building. <br />Location: Ground floor, northwest corner of No. 6 Crusher Secondary. <br />Spill Potential: Moderate. <br />Potential Volume Spilled: Most likely one or two 55-gallon drums. <br />Prevention and Control: The Lube room has a concrete containment berm, floor drains, and a <br />sump. This containment system is capable of containing at least 860 gallons of spilled oil, <br />which, in tum, would be conveyed to Climax tailing. Containment has been improved by <br />blocking off sump drainage to the tailing system and blocking the door opening with a metal <br />berm to prevent escape of spilled product. Prevention of spills is best achieved by caze in filling <br />containers from stored drums, making sure all valves are shut off, <br />• Countermeasures: Viscous greases can be cleaned up with floor dry and a shovel. Non-viscous <br />greases (runny} and oils may have to be diked with sorbent booms or pillows. Soiled booms or <br />pillows may be disposed of in Climax' landfill with the approval of the Environmental <br />Department. <br />Nearest Clean-up Equipment: A spill kit is located in the Oil Room in the northeast corner of <br />the No. 6 Crusher Building. <br />Visual Inspections and Integrity Testing: The Lube room is checked daily during crusher <br />operation; weekly when not operating. <br />Reporting: All spills greater than 5 gallons should be documented on the "Spill Incident Report" <br />form immediately (Appendix 1) and given to the Environmental Department. <br />Conformance with Applicable Requirements: Since all tanks are empty and not in use (at the <br />time of this writing (May 2004)] the facility is in conformance with applicable regulatory <br />requirements. <br />30 <br />
