Permit No. COR-040000
D. BASIC TERMS AND CONDITION -ALL FACILITIES (cont.)
otherwise provided by the Division, the permittee shall have 30 days after such notification to both make the
necessary changes to the plan and to implement them.
The pennittee shall amend the plan whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or
maintenance which has a significant effect on the potential for the dischazge of pollutants to the waters of the
State, or if the SWMP proves to be ineffective in achieving the genera] objectives of controlling pollutants in
stotmwater discharges associated with mining activity. Amendments to the plan shall be summarized in the
Annual or Compliance Report.
3. Prohibition of Non-stonrtwater Discharees
a. Except as provided in pazagraph b, below, all discharges authorized by this permit shall be composed
entirely of stormwater. Discharges of water other than stotmwater must be addressed in a separate CDPS
permit issued for that dischazge.
b. Discharges from the following sources that are combined with stormwater discharges associated with mining
activity may be authorized by this permit, provided that the non-stormwater component of the dischazge is
identified in the SWMP (see Part I.B.4.g of the permit): fire fighting activities, uncontaminated compressor
condensate, irrigation drainage, lawn watering, air conditioner condensate, uncontaminated seeps and springs,
and foundation or footing drains where flows are not contaminated.
4. Releases in Excess of Reaortable Quantities
This permit does not relieve [he permittee of the reporting requirements of 40 CFR 110, 40 CFR 117 or 40 CFR
302. Any dischazge of hazardous material must be handled in accordance with the Division's Notification
Requirements (see Part II.A.3 of the permit).
Facility Inspections
a. Active Mining Operations. Qualified personnel identified by the operator shall make a thorough inspection of
their stormwater management system, at ]east twice per yeaz (in the spring and fa]]). Where semi-annual site
inspections are shown in the plan to be impracticable because an employee is not stationed or does not routinely
visit the site, inspections as required in this pan shall be conducted at appropriate intervals specified in the plan,
but never less than once in two years. These inspections must be documented and summarized in the Annual
Report (see Pan I.E.I of the permit).
b. Inactive Mining Operations. Qualified personnel identified by the operator shall make a thorough inspection
of their stormwa[er rttanagement system, at least once per year. Where annual inspections are shown in the
plan to be impracticable, because an employee is not stationed at or does not routinely visit the site, an
inspection and certification is required once every three years by a Registered Professional Engineer that the site
is in compliance with the plan. These inspections must be documented and summaziud in the Compliance
Report (see Pan I.E.1 of the permit).
c. Remediation Operations. Qualified personnel identified by the operator shall make a thorough inspection of
their stormwater management system, at least once per year (in the field season). Where annual site inspections
are shown in the plan to be impracticable, because an employee is not stationed at or does not routinely visit the
site, inspections as required in this part shall be conducted at appropriate intervals specified in the plan, but
never less than once in two years. These inspections must be documented and sutnmazized in the Annual
Report (see Pan I.E.] of [he permit).
d. Inspection Requirements -ALL Operations. The inspections as required above must include the following:
1) Disturbed areas and areas used for material storage that are exposed to precipitation shall be inspected for
evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system. Erosion and sediment control
