At this time, all that can <br /> <br />be recommended is that as programs are implemented, a clear management role is <br /> <br />defined and adhered to. <br /> <br />2. Mini.!l[ <br /> <br />Permitting programs for water quality control are administered and enforced <br /> <br />by the Water Quality Control Division and the Mined Land Reclamation Board. Al- <br /> <br />though the MLRB is concerned with reclamation per se, they deal with minimizing <br /> <br />erosion and sediment problems during the mining operation. Recent amendments to <br /> <br />the Clean Water Act define all erosion problems.from mining operations as subject <br /> <br />to NPDES requirements. The potential for duplicated or confl icting permit require- <br /> <br />ments are very real. <br /> <br />Complete functional expertise is currently not available in anyone agency <br /> <br />for either the planning or implementation of mining related non point source pro- <br /> <br />grams. Functional capabil ity should be developed in one agency to avoid dilution <br /> <br />and dupl ication of effort. Since the Water Quality Control Division has assumed <br /> <br />the lead role in controll ing water pollution from mining activities to this <br /> <br />point, and Is continuing to gain the necessary expertise to carry out any implemen- <br /> <br />tat ion of control programs in this area, it Is recommended that it remain in this <br /> <br />lead role to support the Mined Land Reclamation Board, and the Radiation and <br /> <br />Hazardous Waste Division of the Department of Health. Of course, considerable <br /> <br />input will be necessary from the county and regional level in order to carry out <br /> <br />III - 10 <br />
