4.2 Materials Handling and Spill Prevention <br /> ' The diesel fuel tank will be stored out of the direct traffic routes. The fueling area 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. In 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 parking area will be inspected on a weekly basis to verify that there are no areas <br /> ' where vehicle fluid drips or spills are accumulating. All equipment will 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 area for the asphalt plant will be bermed around 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 near the <br /> office. No drums or barrels of liquids will be stored outdoors. <br /> ' All garbage 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 the 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 /> year. 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 are 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 /> 3 <br />
