The CERP designates primary and alternative emergency response coordinators with the appropriate authority to implement the plan. The emergency response management team, including the emergency response coordinators, undertakes emergency response training as part of annual refresher training. The MRT members are also trained as medical first responders and high angle rescuers and undertake monthly training to hone their skills. The site ERP identifies the mobilization procedures as well as response team members and their contact information. There are flow charts for each class of emergency which identify the role /responsibility of each response team member. Emergency response equipment storage locations are also provided in the ERP; detailed equipment lists are kept at each storage location. Equipment is checked monthly. The role of outside responders is also described in the ERP, which includes a list of local emergency contacts, roles and responsibilities of the local Fire Department and LifeFlight mine coordinate information. CCEMS are called upon in the event of medical emergencies. The Cripple Creek Fire Department has been briefed on the location of flammable materials and response agreements are in place. The outside emergency responders are invited to participate in annual mock cyanide emergency drills conducted by CC &V. 7.4 Develop procedures for internal and external emergency notification and reporting. The operation is: • in full compliance ❑ in substantial compliance ❑ not in compliance...with Standard of Practice 7.4. Describe the basis for the Finding/Deficiencies Identified: The CERP and ERP provide onsite emergency response contact procedures. As described in the plan, the discoverer contacts his/her supervisor to report the situation. The supervisor contacts security and initiates a site wide alarm. Security contacts the primary emergency response coordinator and senior management as necessary. The emergency response coordinator in turn authorizes mine rescue team mobilization. A member of the senior site management other than the primary coordinator is responsible for determining if outside assistance is required. If there is a requirement for outside assistance from local emergency responders or a potential for an emergency to impact outside communities the first point of contact would be the local dispatch at the Cripple Creek Police Department. If evacuation of off -site parties from residences and businesses is required this would be coordinated through the local emergency response agencies. The CERP also includes procedures for contacting the media, as well as downstream water users if the watershed below the VLF (Arequa Gulch) were to be impacted.
