PART u Page No. t 1 Permit Na COG -50DOOD Stormwater Quality Controls: Each site covered by this permit shall develop a description of stormwater quality controls appropriate for that site, and implement such controls. The appropriateness and priorities of controls in the plan shall reflect identified potential sources of pollutants at the site. The SWMP shall clearly describe the installati,- and implementation specifications for each BMP identified in the SWMP to ensure proper implementation, operat and maintenance of the BMP. The description of stormwater quality controls shall address the following minimum components, including a schedule for implementing such controls: 1) MR Administrator: The SWMP shall identify a specific individual(s), position or title within the mining organization who is responsible for developing, implementing, maintaining, and revising the SWMP. The activities and responsibilities of the administrator shall address all aspects of the facility's S WMP. 2) Materials Handling and Spill Prevention: Areas or procedures where potential spills can occur must have spill prevention and response procedures identified in the SWMP. The SWMP shalt clearly describe and locate all practices implemented at the site to minimize impacts from procedures or significant materials that could contribute pollutants to runoff. Such procedures or significant materials could include exposed storage of fuels, other chemicals, or waste material; and equipment maintenance areas. 3) Erosion and Sediment Co,�QIK Describe the BMPs that will be used to reduce erosion and prevent sediment delivery to State waters. These should include struck" (such as silt fences, sediment ponds, drop structures, res, check dams) and non - structural (such as mulching and revegetatitm) practices. 4) Odm Pollution PMXeatioa Measures: The plan shall identify any other structural and non- structural measures for stormwater quality control on -site. 5) Pr�thm Maintenance: A preventive maintenance program is required, and shall involve inspection and maintenance of stormwater management devices (maintenance of dukes separating mine drainage from stormwater, cleaning oil/water separators and catch basins, etc.) as well as inspecting and testing of equipment and systems to prevent conditions that could cause breakdowns or failures resulting in discharges ofpollu ants to surface waters. These periodic inspections are different from the comprehensive site evaluation (see Part LT", although the former may be incorporated into the latter. Equipment, area, or other inspections are typicalb and are normally conducted on a regular basis (e.g., daily inspections of loading areas). 6) Good Housek=Mg: The SWMP shall identify good housekeeping procedures that will be followed by the mining operation. Good housekeeping requires the maintenance of a clean, orderly facility. This part of the SWMP shall address cleaning and maintenance schedules, trash collection and disposal and collection practices, , grounds maintenance, etc. 7) Identification of Discharges ottg r thaStorruwater: The stormwater conveyance system on the site shall be evaluated for the presence of discharges other than stormwater, such as mine drainage, spoil springs, sanitary waste, or process water of any kind. The SWMP shall include a description of the results of any evaluation for the presence of discharges other than stormwater, the method used, the date of the evaluation, and the on -site drainage points that were directly observed during the evaluation. A number of discharges other than stormwater may not require a CDPS Industrial Wastewater Discharge permit and are considered Allowable Non- Stormwater Discharges. Any of these discharges that exist at the site must be identified in the SWMP. See Part _of the permit for the list of such allowable discharges. 2. BMP,lrttplementatian and Desien Standards Facilities must select, install, implement, and maintain appropriate BMPs, following good engineering, hydrologic and pollution control practices. BMPs implemented at the site must be adequately designed to provide control for all potential pollutant sources associated with construction activity to prevent pollution or degradation of State waters. 3. Consistency with Other Plans SWMPs may reflect requirements for Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans under section 311 of i CWA, or Best Management Practices (BMPs) Programs otherwise required by a CDPS permit, and may incorporate any ,. t of such plans into the SWMP by reference. The SWMP may rely upon information developed for other similar pollution control programs, including the Mined Land Reclamation Plan. Appropriate portions of these other plans may be incorporated in the SWMP by reference, as long as the reference materials are maintained on site, and a complete SWMP can be reproduced and submitted to the requesting agency. The SWMP must also be readily available to an on -site inspector.
