~ .. t ~ <br />~ COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, Water Quality Control Division <br />Renewal Permit Rationale - Page 4. Permit No.: COC-850000. <br />VI. Public Notice Comments (continued) <br />The Colorado Mining Association submitted comments. Their primary <br />concern indirectly applies to this permit. They seek coverage similar to <br />the Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) for application to stormwater <br />discharges from coal mining facilities that, due to the existence of <br />discharges ocher than surface runoff, are covered under individual <br />permits. Their desire was to apply this general permit with its SWMP <br />provisions to these other facilities. The Division intends co cover <br />these facilities initially under the General Permit For Stormwater <br />Discharges From Mining Facilities. As these individual permits come up <br />for renewal, the stormwater outfalls would be addressed through a plan <br />similar to the SWMP in this permit. The mining permit is being drafted <br />now and the Division anticipates submitting it for public notice in June, <br />1992. <br />The Division contacted the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />(CMLRD) to see if they had comments. They stated that the verbal <br />comments made to the Division prior [o the official public notice date <br />were their only concerns. Since these comments were incorporated into <br />the draft permit, no changes should be necessary to satisfy the CMLRD. <br />The renewal permit is being issued with [he modifications described in <br />this section. It shall take effect July 1, 1992 - on the expiration of <br />the previous permit. <br />Jon C. Kubic <br />May 26, 1992 <br />
