107. Wildfires: Increased human use of lands in the project area can lead to increased risk of <br />wildfire. How will employees be trained to prevent fires and respond, if necessary? <br />Due to the dn~ climate and the abundance of natural potential fuel sources in the <br />project area, procedures will be developed for wildfire response. Employees wil[ <br />receive ongoing response training. <br />108. Vandalism: Will any specific measures be taken to prevent vandalism at wells and <br />potential public safety hazards? For example, fencing project area, posting warning signs, or <br />retaining personnel to patrol facilities. <br />Due to the remote location of the Piceance Site, security personnel will not 6e <br />necessary. The Piceance processing plant site will be fenced and gated, with signs <br />posted at all entrances. Operating personnel will 6e present at the plant 24 hours per <br />day. Persons not associated with American Soda's operation will not be allowed <br />unsupervised access to the processing plant area. Outside contractors will be <br />adequately supervised during any work performed within the processing plant area <br />and will be informed of health and safety procedures. The evaporation pond will <br />also be fenced for public safety and to exclude wildlife and wild horses. <br />The Piceance Site other than the processing plant area will have restricted access <br />depending on the locations of active solution mining and monitoring operations. <br />For example,t during commercial operations, signs will 6e posted around the <br />perimeter of of any active mining panel warning the general public of the operation. <br />Reads that pass through the panel will be gated. <br />Active solution mining wells will have rigid plumbing connected to the wellhead <br />to deter vandalism. They will also be labeled. Monitoring wells will be equipped <br />with locking caps. <br />109. Employee safety: What kind of Emergency Plans will be in place? What kind of <br />employee training will be required? What about subcontractors? <br />To be addressed later. <br />Hazardous Materials <br />110. Please provide a list of all hazardous materials that will be used for the construction and <br />operation of this mine; quantities that will be used; quantities stored on site; and how the <br />materials will be transported to the site. <br />To be addressed later. <br />40 <br />
