D-6.3.2 Operation <br /> Operations wastes will include typical office wastes and process related waste <br /> materials. The office wastes will include primarily paper, plastic, aluminum cans, <br /> paper sacks and cardboard from boxes. If practical, these wastes will be placed in <br /> specially marked containers for reycling; otherwise they will be placed in covered <br /> dumpsters. The wastes then will be removed from the site by a contract hauler for <br /> recycling or disposal at approved facilities. It will be up to the contract waste hauler <br /> to select appropriate waste disposal sites. <br /> There will be limited process related operations generated wastes. Currently, these <br /> wastes are expected to be cardboard boxes and wooden pallets from delivery of <br /> various materials, supplies and parts; and possibly the previously mentioned <br /> sediment if the evaporation ponds need to be cleaned out. The Colorado <br /> Department of Natural Resources, Division of Minerals and Geology (Colorado <br /> Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG); October, 1995) has not classified this <br /> experimental pilot plant project and other nahcolite mining operations as Designated <br /> Mining Operations (DMOs). Thus, the exemption from Designation means "... that <br /> designated chemicals will not be stored or used on-site for extractive metallurgical <br /> processing, toxic or acid-forming materials will not be exposed or disturbed in <br /> quantities sufficient to adversely affect human health, property or the environment; <br /> and that acid mine drainage ... will not occur as a result of mining operations ..." <br /> The cardboard boxes and wooden pallets which result from operations will be <br /> recycled, if possible. Thus, they will be placed in appropriately marked dumpsters for <br /> a contract waste hauler to remove and dispose of the waste at an acceptable recycle <br /> or disposal site. <br /> Typical dumpsters which will hold waste materials are expected to be approximately <br /> 6 feet x 8 feet x 20 feet. It is expected that one dumpster will be removed from the <br /> site each month. <br /> Waste materials also may involve parts which are replaced. These parts will be <br /> returned to the manufacturer for reconditioning and resale, if possible; otherwise they <br /> will be removed for disposal by a contract waste hauler. <br /> G:\LMW\78545.002\Reclamation\Reclamexh.DOC D-52 <br />
