1.5 Drainage Description <br />• The CC&V mine site is located on the topographic divide between Fourmile Creek and Beaver Creek <br />drainages that are in the upper Arkansas River basin. Storm water runoff, generated by intense rain <br />and sleet events of short duration, and by rapid snowmelt, is diverted away from areas of disturbance, ; <br />including storage areas for petroleum products and hazardous substances. Runoff from inside the <br />disturbed area is directed through sediment control structures, which provide additional spill control in i <br />the event that a potential contaminant should move outside the immediate release area. Surface ~ <br />waters are monitored within the watershed and also downstream of the Cripple Creek Mining District. <br />Diversion of storm water runoff and control of runoff from disturbed areas are conducted: (1) in <br />accordance with the Storm Water Permit issued to CC&V for its activities in the Cripple Creek Mining ; <br />District; (2) in accordance with applicable provisions of the mining reclamation permits issued by the <br />Department of Natural Resources, Division of Minerals and Geology ("DMG"); and (3) in accordance <br />with Conditional Use permits issued by Teller County. ~ <br />Ground water in the area is almost always quite deep-on the order of 3,000 feet. Shallower perched <br />water tables exist, but are small and discontinuous. Ground water is monitored at certain perimeter <br />down gradient locations at the CC&V mining operation. <br />1.6 Spill History <br />There have been no spills to waters of the State or U.S. during the past three years <br />1.7 Certifications <br />1.7.1 Certification of the No Substantial Harm Criteria <br />Pursuant to the requirements of 40 CFR Part 112, Appendix C, this facility certifies the following: <br />This facility does have oil storage capacity in excess of 42,000 gallons. <br />• <br />• This facility does not transfer oil over water to or from vessels. <br />• This facility does not have oil storage capacity > 1,000,000 gallons. <br />Therefore, this facility does not meet the substantial harm criteria listed in 40 CFR 112 Appendix C, . <br />Attachment C-I. <br />I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined and am familiar with the information <br />submitted in this Plan related to substantial harm, and, based on my inquiry of those individuals ~ <br />responsible for developing the information, I believe the information is true, accurate, and complete. <br />-!~~©$ <br />i, • <br />Larry Newcomer, Vice President and General Manager Date <br />Spill Response Plan September 25, 2006 <br />EMS: AGANA/CCV\\usccvictor\data\EMS\3) Implementation\Plans\ERP\SRP Plan May 2006 Final Doc's\SRP_OS-O6.docDoc; # E-006 <br />\\usccvictor\data\EMS\3) Implementation\Plans\ERP\SRP Plan May 2006 Final Doc's\SRP_05-06.doc Revision 03 ~ <br />Printed Copies are Uncontrolled <br />4 <br />
