COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT -Water Quality Control Division Rationale -Page 7 Permit No. COR-040000 VI. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERMIT (cont.) • c. Stormwater management controls - /dentification of potential pollutant sources and BMPs 1) Stormwater diversion 2) Sediment and erosion prevention d. Comprehensive inspection Additional SWMP Requirements for Sues Seekine Permit Terminations !n the event that the permittee wishes to remediate an inactive mine site and terminate permit coverage, prior to remediation activities, the SWMP must be amended to include the following items, and the permittee must notify the Division of the change in status. Additional Items 1) Documemation of land owner permission (if the permittee is not the owner) 2) Photographs 3) Description of remedial action to be performed 4) Description of BMPs during remediation activities 5) Procedures for disposal of any water stored within mine waste 6) Description of permanent BMPs to be rued, final site stabilization, and ultimate land use 3. SWMP Development, Coordination and Format Some activities required under the SWMP may already be in place. However, the SWMP will require the permittee to coordinate these activities with any necessary new activities in an orderly manner, so that the result is the reduction or elimination of pallutams reaching state waters from areas nor limited by numeric effluem limitations. /t is the permittee's responslbiliry to notify the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology (CDMG) of any ~- • changes at their site resulting from the implementation of the SWMP. This notification allows the CDMG to review the SWMP and incorporate any potential revisions which might be needed into the jaciliry's reclamation permit. Ir is imponam to verify that the site reclamation permit matches the SWMP. Such information is usually contained in Exhibit G of 110 reclamation permits. The SWMP may rely upon information developed for other similar pollution coNrol programs such as the SPCC (Spill Prevention Coruro! and Countermeasures) plan, Vo[umary Cleanup Plan, or the Mined Land Reclarwtion Plan. Appropriate portions of these other plans may be incorporated in the SWMP by reference, as long as a complete SWMP can be reproduced and submitted to the requesting agenry within the time frame sptcified in the request. Those portions of the referenced documents must 6e included in the submittal. The SWMP must also be readily available to an on-site inspector. C. Comprehensive Facility Inspections For active mining operations, the permittee shall make a thorough inspection of their stormwater management rystem, at least twice per year (in the spring and fall), as detailed in Pan /.D.S of the permit. These inspections must be documented and summarized in the Annual Report (see Pan I.E.1 of the permit). For inactive mining operations, a thorough inspection of the stormwater mawgement rystem is required ar least once per year. Where annual inspections of inactive mines are impracticable, an inspection and certification of compliance are required once every three years by a Registered Professional Engineer, as detailed in Pan /.D.S of the permit. These inspections must be documented and summarized in the Compliance Report (see Pan I.E.l of the permit). For remediation projects, the permittee shall make a thorough inspection of their stormwater management rystem at • least once per year (daring the field season). Where annual inspections of inactive mines are impracticable, an inspection and cenification of compliance are required once every two years. These inspections must be documented and summarized in the Annual Report (see Part I.E.1 of the permit).
