;• <br />GENERAL INFORMATION: <br /> <br />B&B Excavating, Inc. <br />Fuel Containment Plan <br />B&B Excavating, Inc. will maintain fuel storage tanks for No. 2 <br />diesel fuel and gasoline on the land known as the Montgomery Pit. <br />The fuel is used to supply a fleet of trucks, construction <br />equipment used in the mining operation, Concrete and Asphalt Batch <br />plant facil-ities operated by B&B Excavating, Inc. At no time is <br />the. fuel sold to outside parties. The total capacity of the <br />storage tanks will be 50,000 gallons. The facility is approximate- <br />ly 500 feet South of the Eagle River. <br />SITE INFORMATION: <br />The fuel containment facility will be a 4 foot thick berm that <br />is 18 inches high, 50 feet wide 100 feet long. This berm will be <br />surrounded by gravel yard. Prior commencing fuel storage the tanks <br />will be moved in and all lines will be laid, when this is complete <br />the berm will be constructed using road base. The road base is <br />being used because it is readily available. Once the berm is <br />complete the fuel tanks will be filled and all tanks and lines will <br />be checked for leaks. The capacity of the bermed area, including <br />the tanks, will be approximately 56,000 gallons. This will supply <br />more than enough capacity to contain any major spill, even if all <br />holding tanks were to fail at once. <br />The general slope of the area is north towards the Eagle <br />River. However, the sand and gravel the would absorb any spills <br />less than 1,000 gallons. Sufficient blotting material is available <br />on site the to contain larger spills from reaching the river. The <br />blotting material is sand that is produced by the mining operation <br />surrounding fuel facilities. <br />There will be no valves on the exterior of the berm, thus the <br />need to secure them against accidental or deliberate openings is <br />not necessary.
