This information may come from the application, SWMP, or additional <br />information as requested by the Division, and includes, but is not limited to, the following: <br />a. the quality of the receiving waters (i.e., the presence of downstream drinking water intakes or a high quality <br />fishery, or for preservation of high quality water); <br />b. the type of mining operation, including pollution potential; <br />c. the volume and type of materials handled; <br />d. the size of the facility; <br />e. evidence of noncompliance under a previous permit for the operation; <br />f. the use of chemicals within the stormwater system. <br />In addition, an individual permit may be required when the Division has shown or has reason to suspect that the <br />stormwater discharge is a significant contributor of pollutants [o waters of [he State. <br />6. Permit Expiration Date <br />Authorization to discharge under this general permit shall expire on September 30, 2001.

An individual permit will be required for any facility not reauthorized [o discharge <br />under the reissued general permit. <br />B. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN -ACTIVE MINES <br />A Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) shall be developed for the portion of each facility covered by [his permit. The <br />SWMP shall be prepazed in accordance with good engineering practices. (The plan need not be completed by a <br />registered engineer.) The plan shall identify potential sources of pollution (including sediment) which may reasonably be <br />expected [o affect the quality of stormwater discharges associated with [he mining operation. In addition, the plan shall <br />describe and ensure [he implementation of best management practices (BMPs) which will be used to reduce the pollutants <br />in stormwater discharges associated with mining activity and to assure compliance with the terms and conditions of this <br />permit. <br />Permittees mast implement the provisions of their SWMP as a condition of this permit. The Division reserves [he <br />right to review [he plan, and io require additional measures to prevent and control pollution as needed. <br />SWMPs which met criteria in the previous version of this permit are acceptable. <br />The SWMP for active mines shall include the following items, a[ a minimum: <br />1. Description of Minin¢ Activities <br />The plan shall provide a narrative description of the mining and associated activities taking place at the site which <br />affect or may affect stormwater runoff intended to be covered by [his permit. The narrative description shall report <br />the total acreage within the mine site and an estimate of the number of acres of disturbed azea. A general <br />description of the location of the mining site relative to major transportation routes and communities shall also be <br />provided. <br />
