<br />4.2 Materials Handling and Spill Prevention <br />The diesel fuel tanl: will be stored out of the direct traffic routes. The fueling azea will have steel <br />posts installed to prevent accidental contact with the fuel pump. The fuel tank will be <br />surrounded by earthen berms of sufficient size and capacity to contain the full amount of the fuel <br />tank should a leak or rupture occur. [n the event of a spill, this site has sufficient earthmoving <br />equipment to contain the liquid and prevent its movement off-site. <br />The vehicle pazking azea will be inspected on a weekly basis to verify that there aze no azeas <br />where vehicle fluid drips or spills aze accumulating. All equipment wil] be inspected on a daily <br />basis for signs of leaks or drips. All equipment will be throughly inspected on a monthly (or <br />sooner) basis, and the information recorded on the attached form. Preventive maintenance will <br />be employed with all equipment on site. <br />The azea for the asphalt plant will be bermed azound the perimeter with openings at the entry and <br />exit points. The berm will be approximately three feet high and will contain any possible spills <br />and prevent any high water associated with minor flooding events from entering the plant site. <br />The tanks of liquid materials used with the asphalt plant will also be contained by berms of <br />sufficient size to contain the contents of a full tank should a leak or spill occur. <br />Miscellaneous oils and vehicle fluids may be stored in small quantities in the trailer neaz the <br />office. No dnuns or barrels of liquids will be stored outdoors. <br />All gazbage and waste materials shall be picked up and disposed of regularly. The perimeter of <br />the site should be policed on a monthly basis to gather incidental debris that may accumulate <br />against the fences. All refuse dumpsters and receptacles shall be equipped with functional lids to <br />prevent precipitation from entering the containers. Where possible, refuse and waste storage <br />should take place indoors, in a safe and sanitary fashion. <br />4.3 Erosion and Sediment Controls <br />The access roads to be constructed into the site will be stabilized using water applications for the <br />life of the mine and until reclamation has been completed. The site access points will be gravel <br />to prevent carrying dirt and materials into the public streets. <br />The interior haul routes will be stabilized by water applications for the life of [he mine. The <br />routes inside the pit itself will be underwater following reclamation. The routes outside the pit <br />will be revegetated or maintained as access for the future reservoir. <br />Stockpiles have the potential for releasing sediment to stormwaters. Topsoil and overburden <br />material generally is kept so that a reserve is available for the anticipated use during the current <br />yeaz. This practice minimizes the amount of disturbed ground surface which would be <br />susceptible to erosion by stormwater runoff All topsoil and(or overburden stockpiles will be <br />seeded with a fast growing cover crop to protect them from wind and water erosion, in the event <br />they aze to be left undisturbed for more than one growing season. The stockpiles will also have <br />erosion control ditches cut at the base to prevent the transport of sediment. A detail of the ditch <br />is included at the end of this narrative. <br />
