• <br />• <br />also addressed in the CDPES permits, as well as the primary Mining and <br />Reclamation Permit. If a temporary closure were to occur additional SOPs are in <br />place; designed to ensure the safe management of the facility in temporary <br />shutdown conditions. <br />Inspections of the VLF, the Pregnant Solution Storage Areas (PSSAs) within the <br />heap, the ADR, and all environmental monitoring stations are routinely <br />conducted by the Process, Metallurgical, Environmental Resources, and Safety <br />Groups. Daily inspections involve internal in-heap cyanide solution storage <br />capacity (water balance tracking), evaluation of the volume of fluid in the low <br />volume solution collection system (LVSCS), and reviews and inspections of <br />emergency storage pond volume availability and solution distribution line <br />integrity. Environmental Resources also conducts routine monitoring 3 times per <br />week. Other examples of environmental inspections include construction quality <br />assurance (CQA) oversight of the phased expansion of the VLF and in-heap <br />storage capabilities, including monitoring of the remediation of historic <br />underground workings prior to liner installation; monitoring of construction of <br />the leak detection trench and site grading; CQA/ CQC of geosynthetics <br />installation; destructive testing of liner material and seam leak testing; and <br />preparation, review, and submittal of detailed as-built drawings for all <br />expansions or modifications. Preventive maintenance related to cyanide use and <br />potential for discharge and related safety considerations are given the highest <br />priority; work orders that involve these issues are immediately approved by <br />Supervisors and repair and/ or replacement actions are initiated in a timely <br />manner. Completion progress is tracked by the responsible supervisor and <br />reported at weekly management meetings. <br />CC&V has also established and certified an ISO 14001-based EMS which includes <br />processes for periodically assessing and improving the effectiveness of all <br />environmental management practices, including management of cyanide. An <br />OSHAS 18001 certification effort for the Health and Safety Management System <br />is also planned for later this year. <br />4.2 Introduce management and operating systems to minimize cyanide <br />use, thereby limiting concentrations of cyanide in mill tailings. <br />• <br />The operation is <br />Cresson Proiect <br />Name of Mine <br />10 September 2007 <br />Date <br />^ in full compliance <br />^ in substantial compliance <br />~~~~~ ~ <br />Signature of Lead Auditor <br />Page 12 of 41 <br />
