The permittee shall, within sixty (60) days after the effective date of this permit,
submit to the State Water Quality Control Division, a spill prevention and
containment plan, prepared by a professional engineer registered in the State
of Colorado. Plans shall include information and procedures for the prevention
and containment of spills of materials used, processed, or stored, at the
facility which could possibly be spilled and might have a visible or otherwise
detectable impact on the waters of the State. The-plan should include but not
necessarily be limited to the following:
1. A history of spills which have occurred in the three (3) years preceeding the
effective date of this permit. The history shall include causation of the
spills and a discussion of preventive measures designed to prevent them
from reoccurring;
2. A description of the reporting system which will be used to alert responsible
facility management, the State Water Quality Control Division, the
Environmental Protection Agency, downstream water users, and local health
officials;
3. A description of preventative facilities (including overall facility plot)
which prevent, contain, or treat, spills and unplanned discharges;
4. A list of all materials used, processed, or stored, at the facility which
represent a potential spill threat to surface waters;
5• An implementation schedule for additional facilities which might be required
in (3) above, but which are not yet operational;
6. A list of available outside contractors, agencies, or other bodies which
could be utilized in the event of a spill in order to clean up its effects;
7. Provision for periodic review and updating of the contingency plan.
The foregoing provisions shall in no way render inapplicable those requirements
imposed by Section 311 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972,
regulations promulgated thereunder, the Colorado Water Quality Control Act, and
regulations promulgated thereunder.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed as allowing any discharge to waters of
the State other than through the discharge points specifically authorized in this
permit. nothing herein contained shall be construed as waiving any liability the
permittee might have, civil or criminal, for any spill.
If this facility has an approved spill prevention and containment plan now in effect,
please submit a copy of this plan with an update, if necessary.
