We have no record that you have applied for or obtained a storntwater permit for the above-referenced site. In 1987, the US Congress amended the Clean Water Act to expressly include s[ormwater discharges from industrial sites as requiring Clean Water Act controls. In 1990, EPA issued regulations that require specific industrial activities to obtain permits in order to discharge s[ormwater from their facilities. Facilities involved in aggregate mining and processing are specifically included. The Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Health Department has direction and authorigr to administer this program in Colorado. The Division has issued general permits for the regulated industrial activities. An application form for the General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Sand and Gravel Mining has been enclosed for your use. Please complete the application and submit it to our office by December 19, 1997. Note that the application must include certification of completion of a Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP), and that the SWMP must be fully implemented by the time the permit is issued. I have included a fact sheet describing the Stormwater program. If you fail to obtain a required stomtwater permit and discharge stormwater from this site, you are in violation of the Clean Water Act and are subject to enforcement action by the Water Quality Control Division. The Clean Water Act authorizes both civil and critttinal penalties for willful non- compliance. The same holds true for any discharges of process or mine water from your site. If you have or intend to have any such discharges, you will need a different application (also available from our office).
