PART <br />Page No. <br />Permit No. COG-SSOOOf _ <br />B. EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS <br />2. StormwaterManaeementPlan(SWMPI(continued) <br />~' c. Erosion and Sediment Controls -Describe BMPs that will be used to reduce erosion and prevent sediment delivery to State =- <br />waters. These should include smctural (such as silt fences, sediment ponds, drop structures, check dams) and non- ~ <br />structural (such as mulching and revegetation) methods. ' <br />Whenever a facility or a portion of a facility enters the post-rninine phase, it is likely that the overall co~guration of the <br />site will change considerably. Prior to the time when new vegetation becomes established, the surface azeas will be subject <br />to potentially significant erosion. The petmittee will need to take adequate measures in order to minimize this erosion as <br />well as the erosion normally encountered during mining activities. <br />d. Identification of Dischazees other than Stotmwater -The stormwater conveyance system on the site shall be evaluated for <br />the presence of dischazges other than stotmwater, such as mine drainage, spoil springs, sanitary waste, or process water o} <br />any kind.. The SWMP shall include a description of the results of any evaluation for the presence of discharges other than <br />stotmwater, the method used, the date of the evaluation, and the on-site drainage points that were directly observed doting <br />the evaluation. <br />b) Faciliri Inspections <br />Qualified personnel identified by the operator shall make a comprehensive inspection of their stotmwater management system, at <br />least twice per yeaz (in the spring and fall), except as provided in paragraphs d and a,below. These comprehensive inspections must <br />be documented and st~**+**+ari~ed in the Annual Report (see Part I.D.2. of the permit). <br />1) Material handling azeas, disturbed azeas, azeas used for material storage that aze exposed to precipitation, and other potential <br />sources of pollution identified in the SWMP in accordance with Part I.B.2.a)1) of this permit shall be inspected for evidence of, <br />or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system. Structural stotmwater management measures, sediment and control <br />measures, and other stmctural pollution prevention measures identified in the plan shall be observed to ensure that they aze <br />operating correctly. A visual inspection of equipment needed to implement the plan, such as spill response equipment, shall be <br />made. <br />2) Based on the results of the inspection, the description of potential pollutant sources and pollution prevention measures identified <br />in the plan shall be revised as appropriate within two weeks of such inspection. Such revisions shall provide for implementation <br /> of any changes to the plan in a timely [Wanner, but in no case more than 90 days after the inspection. <br />3) A report ~+~**++*+ari~ing the scope of the inspection, personnel making the inspectioq the date(s) of the inspection, major <br /> observations relating to the implementation of the SWMP, and actions taken in accordance with pazagraph (b), above, shall be <br /> made and retained as part of the S WMP for at least three years. The report shall be signed in accordance with Part LD.7. of this <br /> permit. <br />4) Where semi-annual site inspections aze shown in the plan to be impractical for sites where an erttployee is not stationed or does <br /> not routinely visit the site, inspections as required in this part shall be conducted at appropriate intervals specified in the plan, <br /> but never less than once in two years. <br />5) Where semi-annual site inspections are shown in the plan to be impractical for inactive sites (sites where industrial activity is no <br /> longer conducted), site inspections required by this part shall be conducted at appropriate intervals specified in the plan, but, in <br /> no case less than once in three years. At lease one site inspection requred under this part shall be conducted before October 1, <br /> 1999, or the date two years after such site becomes inactive, whichever is eazlier. <br />c) Additional SWMP Requirements <br />1) Signatory Requirements: A copy of the plan shall be signed in accordance with Part LD.7. and retained on site. <br />2) SWMP Review/Changes: Upon review of the S WMP, the Division may notify the permittee at any time that the plan does not <br /> meet one or more of the minimum requirements of this permit. After such notification, the permittee shall make changes to the <br /> plan and shall submit to the Division an update to the plan including the requested changes. Unless otherwise provided by the <br /> Division, the permittee shall have 30 days after such notification to both make the necessary changes to the plan and to <br /> implement them. <br />
