An electronic copy of the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure /Materials Containment Plan (SPCC /MCP) and Incident Response Manual (IRM) for the Mine and Mill are included in Appendix A in compact disc format. These documents have been developed to provide procedures to protect, prevent, control, and mitigate releases of chemicals to the environment in the unlikely event of a spill or release of designated chemicals or toxic or acid - forming materials and include, in accordance with Section 8.3, the following: • Designation of personnel, such as mine manager, shift foreman or safety office, who will be on site and in charge in case of an emergency. A minimum of two key response individuals, with up -to -date phone numbers, who can be contacted by the Office on a 24- hr basis; • An outline of response procedures to be followed by mine or plant personnel in the event of an emergency involving designated chemicals, acidic or toxic materials, or uranium or uranium by- products; • A list of designated chemicals and maximum quantities to be stored or used on site at any one time (included in Table 1 of this document and the SPCC Plan); and • A list and location map of materials, supplies and equipment stored on the property and readily available for containing, controlling and cleaning up excursions or releases of designated chemicals.
