ITEM 3: DESCRIPTION OF PREVENTATIVE FACILITIES <br />(a) Uncontaminated Run -off Control <br />The perimeter of the waste dump at the JD -7 mine is <br />bermed to catch and divert run -off water due to major <br />weather activity away from the ponds. Also, there is a <br />run -off catchment ditch between the waste dump and ponds. <br />The ponds at the JD -9 Mine are located on the mesa top, <br />leaving no chance of run -off entering them. <br />(b) Diesel Fuel and Oil Spill Containment <br />The diesel storage tanks have been temporarily removed <br />and the oil drum storage areas are not utilized due to <br />limited mine operations. <br />When full -scale mining operations resume at JD -7, the <br />diesel tank will be placed in a bermed area of sufficient <br />size to contain any accidental spill, thereby preventing <br />any discharge to surface waters or the treatment ponds. <br />When full -scale mining operations resume at JD -9, the <br />diesel tank will be placed in a bermed storage area of <br />sufficient size to contain any spill from threatening <br />surface waters. <br />NOTE: ?OWER FAILURE <br />At the present time, standby power is not available and <br />all operations cease in the case of a total power <br />failure; therefore, water flow to the treatment plant <br />ceases and the outflow from the ponds will cease in short <br />order. <br />Materials Containment Plan - Page 5 <br />
