5.1.1.8 Conoco Light Oil <br /> Description: Conoco Light Oil is a milling reagent used in flotation processes. <br /> Location: Oil tank house north of the Mill Building. <br /> Spill Potential: Very low inside oil tank house; moderate at fill station inside Regrind Tunnel <br /> where it's off-loaded. <br /> Potential Volume Spilled: 16,000 gallons if full tank spilled in oil tank house. <br /> Prevention and Control: The 16,000-gallon pine oil tank is located in a large concrete vault <br /> below grade in the oil tank house. This vault easily could contain the entire stored volume of <br /> Conoco Light Oil. A floor drain connects with the mill process line should a spill occur. Spills <br /> of Conoco Light Oil at the unloading hose in the Regrind Tunnel can be prevented by operator <br /> care and making sure connections are secure between tanker and hose coupling. <br /> Countermeasures: Small spills in the oil tank house can be cleaned up with floor dry and <br /> shovels. Larger spills will require sorbent booms and floor dry. In the Regrind Tunnel, small <br /> spills will be absorbed by floor dust and loose material comprising the road surface. Oil stained <br /> dust should be scooped up with a shovel and disposed of properly. Larger spills will be <br /> controlled by sorbent booms or dikes. Contact the Environmental Coordinator for proper disposal <br /> methods (most likely the Climax landfill). <br /> Nearest Clean-up Equipment: A spill kit is located in the west end of the mill building. <br /> Monitoring: The oil tank house and the hose and coupling in the Regrind Tunnel are checked <br /> daily during mill operations; monthly otherwise. <br /> Reporting: All spills of Conoco Light Oil which threaten waters of the State of Colorado are <br /> subject to the requirements of Sections 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 of this SPCC Plan. All spills of 5 <br /> gallons or more should be reported to the Environmental Coordinator by using the "Spill Incident <br /> Report"form given in Appendix 1. <br /> 17 <br />
