• Whirlwind Mine MC /SPCC 3. Containment Page 4 of 8 06!29/07 Concerted measures will be taken to immediately eliminate any ongoing release of material and contain the material that has spilled through berming, absorption, or other appropriate techniques. 4. Sampling Liquid and/or solid samples will be collected in both the area affected by the spill and also in an area that is known to be unaffected by the spill but with similar characteristics, if necessary. If the wntents of the spill are unknown, a sample of the spilled material will also be collected. The number and location of samples to be taken will be dependent upon the extent of the spill, and will be determined by the TSS. Parameters which may be applicable to the analyses of samples collected in accordance with these procedures are listed below: • Lumsden Creek Stream Standard • CDPS Discharge Limitations • Hazardous Waste Characteristic Tests • If the contents of the spill are known, analysis for the known elements. 5. Clean-up This phase includes the removal of the spilled material, soil underlying the spill location and anY other debris insulting from the spill, and the restoration of the scene of the spill to pre- sprll conditions. Contaminated materials resulting from the spill will be cleaned up and disposed of in an appropriate manner. Additional samples will be collected after the initial clean-up, with the results compared to any unaffected area samples collected, in order to determine the necessity for further clean-up, 6. Report Preparation The TSS will be responsible to the General Manager and Environmental Manager for preparing a report that includes the cause of the spill, initial measures taken to contain the spill, results of samples pertaining to clean-up adequacy, and recommendations for additional preventative measures. The TSS, in conjunction with the Corporate Environmental Manager, will prepare a written report to the appropriate regulatory agencies, as described under Section 3.0 - "Government Agency Notification." 7. Evaluation Upon completion of the TSS's report; the General Manager and the TSS will meet and discuss measures that can be taken to prevent a recurrence of the spill. All records resulting from a spill will be retained for a minimum of five years, or longer, if requested by the Regional Administrator of the USEPA or the State Water Quality Control Division.
