S.Z.4 Product Storage Areas <br />S.Z.4.1 Molybdenum Product Storage at Moly Warehouse <br />No molybdenum disulfide is stored at the Moly Warehouse while Climax Mine <br />is on standby status. <br />Chemical: Molybdenum disulfide. <br />Description: Molybdenum disulfide concentrate (a fine granulaz material) is produced at <br />Climax Mine. The concentrate is slightly more than 88% MoSZ by weight and is stored onsite <br />and shipped offsite in 4000-pound nylon bags. <br />Location: Molybdenum disulfide product is stored in the Moly Wazehouse. See Figures 1 & 2. <br />Spill Potential: Low. <br />Potential Volume Spilled: Most likely if a product spill occurred it would be a fraction of a <br />4000-pound bag, probably on the order of a few pounds. <br />Prevention and Control: Caze in loading and unloading product bags, making sure the lift truck <br />does not puncture a nylon container, is the best spill control. General housekeeping is a priority <br />in the Moly Warehouse and lift trucks are prevented from driving beyond a diked platform, <br />thereby greatly reducing spill potential. <br />Countermeasures: Because MoSZ is a granular material and not likely to migrate substantially <br />from the place it is spilled, simply shoveling the material back into the storage bag is the best <br />countermeasure. In the unlikely event that a bag would fall off a transport truck in a rainstorm <br />and become wet enough to flow, the spill could be contained with diking or a sorbent boom. <br />Any spilled material which is contained would be taken back to the mill for reprocessing. <br />Nearest Clean-up Equipment: A spill kit is located in the Moly Warehouse and additional spill <br />kits are located in the Moly Wazehouse. <br />Visual Inspections and Integrity Testing: The Moly Warehouse product storage areas are <br />checked daily during operation of the mill and the open pit. <br />Reporting: Due to the fact that spills of product aze very costly to Climax, all such occurrences <br />will be documented on the "Spill and Release Information Sheet" immediately (Appendix 1), and <br />given to the Environmental Department. <br />Conformance with Applicable Requirements: At the time of this writing (May 2004) the Moly <br />• Disulfide (Product) Storage facilities aze in conformance with applicable regulatory <br />requirements. <br />45 <br />
