1.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This Spill Response Plan ( "SRP ") is to be used by CC &V Team Members (all employees) of the
Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company (CC &V) at its Cresson Project Operations, located in
the Cripple Creek Mining District of Colorado. The procedures and policies described herein apply to
the activities of all CC &V Team Members and to other persons on site under CC &V supervision or
contract. Distribution of this Plan is to be restricted to CC &V employees, contractors, and applicable
government agencies /organizations.
It is CC &V's policy to prevent releases to the environment of petroleum products and hazardous
substances that may pose a threat to human health and /or the environment. Any releases that do
occur and which are not in compliance with applicable Federal and State requirements expressed in
site - specific permits or applicable regulations must be appropriately contained, remediated, recorded
and reported.
The purpose of this SRP is to provide guidance to protect water quality through containment of
potential soil and water contaminants. The SRP assesses the potential for contaminant releases,
describes the controls to prevent contaminant releases, and provides instruction for responding to
contaminant releases. Federal and State reportable quantities ( "RQs ") are used to determine agency
reporting and remediation requirements as appropriate.
This SRP is a combined plan that also serves as CC &V's Spill Prevention, Control, and
Countermeasure ( °SPCC") Plan. This SRP is based on the requirements of 40 CFR (Code of Federal
Regulations) Part 112 for CC &V's SPCC Plan and the requirements of the Colorado Division of
Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ( DRMS ). This SRP has been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of 40 CFR Part 110, 40 CFR Part 112, 40 CFR Part 116, 40 CFR Part 117, and 40 CFR
Part 125. These references are on file with the Environmental Resources Department. The scope of
this SRP goes beyond the requirements of the SPCC regulations at 40 CFR Part 112 by not only
addressing liquid petroleum products but also other hazardous substances that have been listed
pursuant to the Clean Water Act ( §311(b)(2)) per 40 CFR Part 125 (references are on file with the
Environmental Resources Department):
• Petroleum Products - Diesel, gasoline, kerosene, lubricants, greases, oil -based solvents,
fuel- additives, sludges, used -oil, and oil mixed with other substances (40 CFR 110.1(a), and
112.2) in part) (see §110.1 for definition)(on file with the Environmental Resources Dept.)
• Sodium Hydroxide
• Hydrochloric Acid
• Sodium Cyanide Briquettes (dry form) and Cyanide Solutions
• Sodium Hypochlorite
• Calcium Hypochlorite
This Plan also applies to other hazardous and non - hazardous substances not listed in 40 CFR Part
125, but present at the Cresson Project operation. Major chemicals include:
• Antifreeze
• Antiscalant
• Ammonium Nitrate (blasting agent) and Blasting Emulsions
• Lime
A more complete list of bulk products stored on site is included with this SRP in Appendix C. The
substances listed in Appendix C must be managed based on the principles in this SRP and the
specific characteristics of the substance.
' CWA hazardous substances subject to this Spill Response Plan are listed in regulations in Table 116.4A (alphabetically)
and Table 116.4B (by CAS number). Examples of listed substances are: Chlorine, Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrogen Cyanide,
Nitrogen Dioxide, Sodium Cyanide, and Sulfuric Acid.
