4.4.1 Storage of Spent Carbon, Refinery Slag, and Used Furnace Crucibles at ADR Plant <br />The spent carbon is collected in mesh sacks and stored on wooden pallets outside, west of the ADR <br />building on the VLF lined area. The refinery slag and used furnace crucibles are stored in labeled <br />drums in the refinery area. <br />4.4.1.1 Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures for Spent Carbon, Slag, and Crucibles <br />Spent carbon sacks may release material during filling or when moved. During transfer from storage <br />to a transport vehicle, spills may occur. A release of spent carbon will be scooped up and placed into <br />a spent carbon sack. <br />Refinery slag and used furnace crucibles may be spilled if a drum tips over during transfer from the <br />storage area to a transport vehicle. In the event of a release, the spilled materials will be scooped up <br />and returned to the storage drum prior to transport. <br />4.5 Lime <br />Coarse (pebble) lime is used to prepare crushed Cresson ore for leaching. <br />4.5.1 Lime Silo <br />The pebble lime silo for the Cresson Project is located along the conveyor downstream of the <br />secondary crusher. <br />4.5.1.1 Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures at the Lime Silos <br />The silos are equipped with a baghouse to control lime dust. Lime is applied in a covered portion of <br />the conveyor to enhance control of fugitive dust. Accumulation of lime at the base of the silos may <br />occur during transfer from the bulk tankers. <br />A release of lime will be removed using a front -end loader or equivalent equipment. The material <br />retrieved will either be placed on the Cresson pad or incorporated into an overburden storage area. <br />Lime will be distributed onto the pad surface only when the ambient winds are light and only when the <br />lime will be rapidly mixed into the ore or overburden so as to avoid wind erosion. <br />4.6 Laboratory Chemicals <br />Small quantities of chemicals used in the laboratory are stored in designated areas within enclosed <br />structures. All laboratory chemicals are handled in accordance with laboratory safety procedures and <br />are used and stored indoors in small quantities. Spills are very unlikely to escape the laboratory <br />facilities. However, spill response procedures are included in section 5.2.5 of this SRP /SPCC Plan. <br />The laboratory (lab) is located west of the existing ADR as shown in Figure 2. <br />5.0 SPILL PREVENTION AND SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURES <br />This section summarizes the routine operating procedures that must be followed to prevent releases <br />of substances subject to control under this SRP /SPCC. This Section also provides procedures to <br />follow in the event of a specific type of chemical spill and procedures to monitor the potential <br />migration of spilled materials. These procedures are the subject of training sessions for CC &V Team <br />Members, and they apply to any activities conducted by CC &V on the mine site. <br />5.1 General Spill Prevention Procedures <br />The following procedures primarily relate to on -site movement and use of chemicals. Team Members <br />involved in chemical handling (including oils) will receive instruction on safe handling of storage <br />containers and materials handling during product transfers: <br />Spill Response Plan August 17, 2010 <br />EMS: AGANA/CCV Doc. # E -006 <br />G:\EMS1PIans \Emergency Response Plans \SRP Plan \SRP Plan.doc Revision 05 <br />Printed Copies are Uncontrolled <br />30 <br />
