5.1.1.6 Syntex <br /> Description: Syntex is a frothing agent used in the milling process. Syntex is very similar to <br /> common soap. <br /> Location: Moly warehouse and the reagent storage area at the northeast end of the mill. <br /> Spill Potential: Low. <br /> Potential Volume Spilled: Because it is stored in drums, most likely the volume spilled would <br /> be one or two drums. <br /> Prevention and Control: By carefully moving and transporting drums with a lift truck, spills <br /> can be avoided. Also, storage should be in low traffic areas. <br /> Countermeasures: Spills of Syntex can be controlled by diking with sorbent booms or simply <br /> scooping up the materials and replacing the spilled Syntex in a new drum. <br /> Nearest Clean-up Equipment: Spill kits are located in mobile units driven by the <br /> Environmental Coordinator, WET (Water-Equipment-Tailings) Crew Foreman, and the pond <br /> technicians (2). Spill kits are also located at the east and west ends of the mill building. <br /> Monitoring: The mill reagent storage area is checked on each shift and the moly warehouse is <br /> checked daily. <br /> Reporting: All spills of Syntex which threaten the waters of the State of Colorado are subject to <br /> the requirements of Sections 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 of this SPCC Plan. Spills of more than half a drum <br /> should be written up on the "Spill Incident Report" form (Appendix 1) and given to the <br /> Environmental Coordinator. <br /> 15 <br />
