PART I Permit No. CO-0032638 Page No. 17 D. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS 2. stormwater Requirements (continued) c. SWMP Requirements 1) SWMP Submittal/Review/Changes: The Division reserves the right to request and review the plans, and to require additional measures to prevent and convol pollution, as needed. Upon review of the SWMP, the Division may notify the permittee at any time that the plan does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of this permit. After such notification, the permittee shall make changes to the plan. Unless 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 permittee 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 discharge of pollutants to the waters of the Stale, or if the SWMP proves to be ineffective in achieving the general objectives of controlling pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with mining activity. Amendments to the plan shall be summarized in the Annual Report. d. Prohibition of Non-stormwater Discharees l) Except as provided in paragraph b, below, all discharges authorized by the stormwater portion of this permit shall be composed entirely of stormwater. Discharges of water other than stormwater must be addressed in a separate CDPS permit issued for that discharge. 2) Discharges from the following sources that are combined with stormwater discharges associated with mining activity may be authorized the stormwater portion of this permit, provided that the non-stormwater component of the discharge 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. e. Facility Inspections 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. The inspections must include [he 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 convol measures identified in the SWMP shall be observed to ensure that they are operating correctly. 2) Based on the results of the inspection, the description of the potential pollutant sources and the pollution prevention and control measures that are identified in the SWMP shall be revised as appropriate as soon as practicable after such inspection. Revised control measures shall be implemented a timely manner, but in no case more than 90 calendar days after the inspection, unless otherwise provided by the Division. 3) The operator shall keep a record of inspections, including the date of the inspection, major observations relating to the implementation of the SWMP, and actions taken in accordance with paragraph 2), above. This record shall be made available to the Division upon request. f. SWMP Availability Upon request, the permittee shall submit a copy of the SWMP to the Division, the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology and EPA, and any local agency approving sediment and erosion plans or stormwater management plans, within the time frames specified in the request. All SWMPs required under this permit are considered reports that shall be available to the public under Section 308(b) of the CWA. The owner or operator of a facility with stormwater discharges covered by [his permit shall make plans available to members of the public upon request, unless the SWMP has been submitted to the Division. However, the permittee may claim any portion of a SWMP as confidential in accordance with 40 CFR part 2.
