Other storage areas for equipment and materials include the 'blisters' along the haul <br />• road. Blister #2 (a.k.a. Treasure Island) serves as storage for outdated equipment, parts, <br />and materials awaiting salvage and sale. Blister #3 has been designated for road base <br />storage. Other materials and equipment such as reclamation materials, drill steel, water <br />pipe, and contractor equipment and supplies may also be stored on the blisters. These <br />blister areas are not to be used for the storage of liquids or other materials in a manner <br />that could damage fish, wildlife, and related environmental values. <br />More specific locations and containment structures are maintained for petroleum and <br />liquid materials. Such liquid storage areas are identified on Map 15 for the D-Portal <br />Area. <br />Other bulk liquid storage facilities include the fuel storage at the dozer shop currently <br />located at Refuse Area 5a (petroleum), east of the Railroad Maintenance Shop <br />(petroleum), deicing storage tank by the loadout, and the hydrochloric acid tank by the <br />water treatment facilities. Magnesium chloride, or other chemical road dust suppressant, is <br />stored on an as-needed basis in tanks placed at the entrance to 'blister' #2 in a location <br />draining to sediment pond DP-1. Limited quantities of containerized reagents and <br />• petroleum products also occupy many of the various buildings scattered throughout the <br />mine site. LPG bulk tanks are also located north of Slot Storage and next to the railroad <br />maintenance building. <br />Water storage facilities are discussed elsewhere but include the raw water tank, potable <br />water tank, and the lagoon. <br />Explosive storage is provided in a suitable licensed location at the end of the road past <br />sediment pond DP-1. <br />Used oils, greases, antifreeze and solvents are retained for recycling. Bulk storage tanks <br />are available for used oils and antifreeze at the west end of the mine maintenance shop. <br />Used chlorinated solvents are returned to their original containers for recycling by the <br />supplier. Drums and barrels containing used or obsolete liquid products are stored at the <br />petroleum barrel storage southeast of the D-Portal prior to being sent off for recycling or <br />being reassigned another use. Empty barrels are also stored next to this location prior to <br />crushing and placement in the scrap metal receptacles for recycling if they are not to be <br />returned to the vender for reconditioning or reused on site. <br />• Rev.
