COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT -Water Quality Control Division <br />Rationale -Page 6 Permit No. COR-040000 <br />VI. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERM/T <br />A. Prohibition ors Non-stormwater Discharges <br />The list of allowable non-stormwater discharges has been increased to include uncontaminated compressor <br />condensate, irrigation drainage, lawn watering, and air conditioner condensate. These have been determined to be <br />insignificant sources of water pollution, and do not rseed to be covered under an individual discharge permit. <br />B. Stormwater Management Plaa (SWMP) Requirements <br />The purpose of a SWMP is to identify passible pollutant sources to stormwater and to set out best management <br />practices that, when implemented, will reduce or eliminate any possible water quality impacts. A SWMP shall be <br />developed and implemented for each site covered by this permit. The SWMP must be prepared in accordance with <br />good engineering practices. (The plan need not be completed by a registered engineer.) The Division has a <br />guidance document available on preparing a SWMP. <br />The plan identifies potential sources of pollution (including sediment) which may reasonably be expected to affect <br />the qualiry of stormwater discharges associated with mining or remediation operations. /n additiors, the plan <br />describes practices which will be used to reduce the pollutants in stormwater discharges from the mirsing or <br />remediation operation, and to assure compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit. Facilities must <br />implement the provisions of their SWMP as a condition of this permit. <br />The SWMP requirements have bee amended in this permit to eliminate redundancies in past requirements. The <br />most notable changes combine the Description of Potential Pollutant Sources/Materials, Risk Identification and <br />Assessment, and Best Management Practices sections of the previous SWMP requirements. Refer to the Permit, <br />Pans l.B. and /.C for a complete description of the current SWMP requirements. <br />Note: SWMPs that were prepared irs accordance with requirements in the previous permit need not 6e <br />amended to conform to this format. The jormat is new in this permit, but the essence of the <br />requirements remairss the same. <br />Submittal of the SWMP is not automatically required under this permit. However, the Division may require <br />submittal upon request, and review the SWMP and require additional measures to prevent and control pollution. It <br />is the Division's intent to request submission of such reports on a selective basis.
