PARTI Page No. 10 PermitNo.: CO-0036251 ~. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS 2. Stormwater Requirements b. Stormwater Manaeement Plan -Contents and Requirements iv) Stormwater Manaeement Controls (B) Identification of Potential Pollutant Sources and Best Management Practices (Continued) Factors to consider include the toxicity of the material; quantity of chemicals used; amount of material processed; the likelihood of contact with Stormwater; and history of significant drainage, leaks or spills of toxic or hazardous pollutants. The description of the BMPs shall include: (1) Stormwater diversion: Describe how and where Stormwater will be diverted away from material handling and storage areas to prevent Stormwater contamination. (2) Materials handling and spill prevention; Where materials can impact Stormwater runoff, practices that reduce the potential for contamination shall be described and implemented. For example, materials should be stored and handled in covered areas to prevent contact with Stormwater; chemicals should be stored within berms or secondary containment devices to prevent leaks and spills from entering Stormwater runoff. (3) Sediment and erosion prevention: Describe practices that will be used to reduce erosion and prevent sediment delivery to State waters. These could include stmctural (such as silt fences, sediment ponds, drop stmctures, check dams} and non-stmctural (such as mulching and revegetafion) methods. In each case where Stormwater pollution potential exists, appropriate preventive measures must be identified and implemented. (C) Preventive Maintenance -The SWMP shall identify a preventive maintenance program. This program shall involve maintenance of stormwater management devices (maintenance of dikes separating mine drainage from Stormwater, cleaning oillwater sepazators 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 of pollutants to surface waters. (D) Good Housekeeping -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 disposal and collection practices, grounds maintenance, etc. (E) Spill Prevention and Response Procedures -Areas where potential spills can occur, and their accompanying drainage points, shall be identified clearly in the SWMP. Where appropriate, specifying material handling procedures and storage requirements in the plan shall be considered, Procedures for cleaning up spills shall be identified in the plan and made available to the appropriate personnel. The necessary equipment to implement a clean-up shall be available to persoanel. (F) Employee Education -The SWMP shall describe employee education programs to inform personnel at al] levels of responsibility (who are involved in Honing activities that may impact Stormwater runoff) of the components and goals of the SWMP. Education shall address topics such as spill response, good housekeeping and material management practices. The SWMP shall identify periodic dates for such instruction. Contractor or temporary personnel shall be informed of mine operations and control features in order to prevent Stormwater -' pollution from occurring.
