This SPCC Plan includes material located in: <br /> (a) production facilities (mill, shops, plants); (b) storage facilities (warehouses and loading <br /> docks); (c) tailing distribution and industrial water systems (pipelines, treatment plants, <br /> pumphouses); and (d) other facilities (labs, etc.) at the Climax Mine Site. <br /> Because this plan also addresses petroleum products, it complies with 40 CFR Part 112, <br /> Environmental Protection Agency Regulations issued in 1978 under the Water Pollution Control <br /> Act of 1972. <br /> 1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PLAN REQUIREMENTS <br /> Climax Mine is a"Designated Mining Operation" (DMO) according to Rule 6 of the April 1994 <br /> amendments to the Colorado Mineral Rules and Regulations under the Colorado Mined Land <br /> Reclamation Act. This SPCC Plan is incorporated into the Environmental Protection Plan which <br /> defines how the DMO operator will protect those areas that potentially could be affected or <br /> impacted by "designated chemicals, toxic or acid-forming materials or acid mine drainage." All <br /> of Climax Mine's "designated chemicals" are addressed in this SPCC Plan. <br /> 2.0 OWNERSHIP INFORMATION,FACILITY DESCRIPTION, and SPILL HISTORY <br /> 2.1 OWNERSHIP INFORMATION <br /> Name: Climax Mine <br /> Highway 91 <br /> Climax, Colorado 80429 <br /> (719)486-2150 (phone) <br /> (719) 486-2252 (fax) <br /> Manager: Chris Janes <br /> General Manager <br /> P.
