TR -18 to Permit M- 1977 -342 <br />Environmental Protection Plan <br />Mine EPF 1.2 — Storm Water Diversion System: <br />Storm water diversion systems have been constructed on the: <br />• South side of the Mine office and surface operations to divert un- impacted storm water <br />around industrial activities to the east end of the property; and <br />• West end and along the north side of the Mine property to divert un- impacted storm <br />water to the West Fork Clear Creek <br />See section 10.2 and the Henderson Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) in Appendix B <br />for additional information on storm water diversion systems. <br />Effectiveness: The storm water diversion canals have been effective in preventing the amount <br />of storm water that can come into contact with disturbed land, designated chemicals and <br />potentially toxic or acid forming materials. As a result, the potential pollution of storm water is <br />greatly reduced. <br />Monitoring: The storm water diversion system is inspected twice per year in accordance with <br />Henderson's SWMP (see Section 10.2 and Appendix B for additional information). <br />7.2. Mill Environmental Protection Facilities <br />Environmental Protection Facilities at the Henderson Mill site involve three main <br />areas /categories: <br />• Process Water and Tailings Circuit; <br />• Designated Chemical Storage Facilities; and <br />• Storm Water Diversion System. <br />The EPFs in these areas are defined and evaluated in Sections 7.2.1, 7.2.2 and 7.2.3 respectively. <br />Figures 4 — 10 identify the locations of the EPFs at the Mill site. <br />Leaks, spills, or any other accidental or unauthorized releases are immediately addressed and <br />reported as described in the SPCC /MCP and IRM (Appendix A). In addition, Henderson has <br />contracted with Belfor Environmental Services (800- 930 -0011) to provide third party emergency <br />services and are available to assist in the event of an accidental release. <br />7.2.1. Process Water and Tailings Circuit <br />The Henderson Mill employs a zero discharge process water circuit. There is no active discharge <br />of process waters, although the CDPS Permit for Henderson Mill allows for the discharge of <br />process waters under certain emergency conditions identified in the permit. The water <br />management system at the Mill includes the following components: <br />• East Branch Reservoir System includes: <br />o East Branch Dam; <br />o East Branch pump station; <br />o Process Water Line; and <br />o Process Water Tanks; <br />• The Milling System including: <br />o Tailings delivery line; <br />• Emergency Cutout <br />• No. 1 Cutout <br />Climax Molybdenum Company <br />Henderson Operations <br />October, 2012 <br />Page 16 of 40 <br />
