• 7. EMERGENCY RESPONSE Protect communities and the environment through the development of emergency response strategies and capabilities. Standards of Practice 7.1 Prepare detailed emergency response plans for potential cyanide releases. The operation is: ^ in full compliance ^ in substantial compliance ^ not in compliance ...with Standard of Practice 7.1. Describe the basis for the Finding/Deficiencies Identified: • .7 CC&V has established a Cyanide Emergency Response Plan (CERP), which is an element of the site Emergency Response Plan (ERP). The Cyanide Emergency CERP considers the potential release scenarios applicable to the site and describes the measures incorporated into the operation to mitigate the potential effects if such a scenario were to occur. The plan takes into account the method of shipment and the form of cyanide transported. It considers only transportation accidents that could occur during transport of cyanide between the gate and the cyanide off-loading pad. It does not address any off-site incident related to transportation of cyanide, as is the responsibility of the seller (CyPlus) as described in the governing Purchase Agreement. The CERP includes evacuation actions that should be taken for various scenarios including potential impacts to off-site communities. The plan links to the site- wide ERP and Crisis Communication Plan (CCP) for onsite communication procedures and contacts with community response agencies. The CERP also addresses first response actions, location of antidotes, location of equipment, clean up procedures, and mitigation measures. The CERP also has requirements for periodically reviewing, evaluating and revising response procedures.
