January 2009 — Guidance for Mine-Site Petroleum-Contaminated Soil (PCS) Management Plans: This new guidance document supersedes the April 1995 guidance entitled, "Mining Sites, Hydrocarbon Contaminated Soil Definitions and Guidelines." It represents a collaborative effort between several NDEP bureaus, the Nevada Mining Association, and other industry representatives. All operators who currently hold a mine-site hydrocarbon permit (General and/or Individual) must submit by July 1, 2009 a proposed PCS Management Plan for review and approval, or state that all PCS will be disposed at an authorized off-site facility.
The new guidance was originally issued in October 2008. Informational kickoff meetings were held in late October 2008 in Winnemucca and Elko. The guidance was re-issued in late January 2009 with the following two revisions to reflect existing regulatory requirements better: 1) Consultants preparing PCS Plans must be Nevada-Certified Environmental Managers; and 2) Changes regarding annual interim covers and final covers for mine-site PCS disposal locations.
