• 5. Return the spilled material to the appropriate process system (loading operation, <br />crusher, belt, bin, etc.) <br />6. Repair any deficiency that caused the spill. <br />7. Adjust operation techniques to avoid future spills. <br />8. Learn from the mistake. <br />Fuel/Lubricant Spill: This facility and operations falls well below EPA regulations <br />concerning the SPCC (Spill Prevention Control and Countenneasures) Rule; because above <br />ground storage of oil is less than 1,320 gallons. This does not diminish, however, the <br />importance of appropriate response of a fuel/lubricant spill. The following procedure shall <br />be followed concerning such a spill: <br />1. Contact management immediately <br />2. Identify the source of the spill <br />3. Contain the spill and eliminate the source of additional spillage <br />4. Use absorbents (OilDry, pads, etc.) to soak up spilled material <br />5. Dispose of absorbent materials in approved manner <br />6. Collect any contaminated soil for proper disposal <br />7. Repair or replace any damaged containers that were the source of the leak <br />Absorbent materials shall be well stocked in the storage trailer located at the Mobile <br />Millsite. <br />Pipelines: There are process water/tailings pipelines located above grade at the site. The <br />tailings disposal line is a 2" BDPE double-walled pipe to provide for secondary <br />containment. The recycle water line is 1.25' HDPE double-walled pipe to provide for <br />secondary containrnrent. A tailings process water analysis in provided in the appendix. <br />. This pipeline shall be inspected on a monthly basis by walking the line to look for leaks. <br />Leaks shall be repaired immediately. If a leak occurs, the contamination does not warrant <br />high alarm. The leak shall be allowed to evaporate and any solid tailings component shall <br />be scooped up and disposed of in the lined Tailings Impoundment. <br />f. Employee Education: A very important component to this Stormwater Management Plan is to <br />provide comprehensive education to the operating staff. This is a relatively small operation consisting <br />of upto 6 employees. Additionally, any sub-contractors brought on-site shall be educated on the <br />specifics of this SWMP. Training shall be done twice annually and with each new hire. A training <br />outline shall consist of: <br />• Introduction to Stormwater Permits <br />1. Background information describing rationale and importance <br />2. Status of existing permit <br />Stormwater Management Plan Components <br />1. Spill response and clean-up procedures <br />a.
