PARTI Page ivm. zs Ycrmit No.: CO-00007 1) Stormwater diversion: Describe how and where Stormwater w ill be diverted away from material handling and storage areas to prevent Stormwater contamination. 2) Materials handling and spill prevention: Where materials can impact Stormwater runoff, practices that reduce the potential for contamination shall be described and implemented. For example, materials should be stored and handled in covered areas [o prevent contact with Stormwater; chemicals should be stored within berms or secondary containment devices to prevent leaks;and spills from entering Stormwater runoff. 3) Sediment and erosion prevention: Describe practices that will Abe used [o reduce erosion and prevent sediment delivery to State waters. These could include structural (such as silt fences, sediment ponds, drop i structures, check damsl and non-structural (such as mulching and revegetation) methods. In each case where Stormwater pollution potential exists, appropriateipreventive measures must be identified and implemented. c) Preventive Maintenance -The SWMP shall identify a preventive maintenance program. This program shall involve maintenance of Stormwater management devices (maintenance of dikes separating mine drainage from Stormwater, cleaning oil/water separators and catch basins, etc.) as well as inspecting and testing of equipment and systems to prevent conditions that could cause breakdowns or failures resulting in discharges of pollutants to surface waters. d) Good Housekeeping - The SWMP shall identify good housekeeping procedures [hat will be followed by the mining operation. Good housekeeping requires the maintenance of a~clean, orderly facility. This part of the SWMP shall address cleaning and maintenance schedules, hash disposal and collection practices, grounds maintenance, etc. e) Spill Prevention and Response Procedures -Areas where potential spills can occur, and [heir accompanyin. drainage points, shall be identified clearly in the SWMP. Where appropriate, specifying material handling procedures and storage requirements in the plan shall be considered. Procedures for cleaning up spills shall be identified in the plan and made available [o the appropriate personnel The necessary equipment to implement a clean-up shall be available to personnel. - f) Employee Education -The SW iMP shall describe employee educaticn programs to inform personnel a[ all levels of responsibility (who are involved in mining activities that may impact Stormwater nmof~ of the components and goals of the SWMP. Education shall address topics such as spill response, good housekeeping and material management practices. The SWMP shall identify periodic dates for such instruction. Contractor or temporary personnel shall be informed of mine operations and control features in order to prevent Stormwater pollution from occurring. g) Identification of Discharges other than Stornnvater -The Stormwater conveyance system on the site shall bz evaluated for the presence of discharges other than Stormwater. The SWMP shall include a description of [he , results of any evaluation for the presence of discharges other than Stormwater, the method used, the date of any evaluations and the on-site drainage points that were directly observed during [he evaluation. A number of discharges other than Stormwater may no[ require a CDPS Wastewater Discharge permit and are considered Allowable Non-stonnwater Discharges. These are listed a[ Part LD.3, below. Any of these discharges that exist at the site must be identified in [he SWMP. v. Comprehensive Inspection vi. Cmrsistency with Other flans The SWMP shall identify qualified personnel that shall inspect designated equipment and mine areas at appropriate intervals specified in the plan, at least twice a year (in the spring and fall). The operator shall keep a record of such inspections. This record shall be made available to the Division upon request and summarized in the Armua] Report (see Part LE.1 of the permit). • S WMPs may reflect requirements for Spill Prevention Control and Countertneasare (SPCC) plans under section 31 l of the C~l'A, or 3es[ Nlnnagement Practices (BMPs) Programs otherwise required by a CDPS.pemrit, and may incorporate any part of such plans into the SWMP by reference. The SWMP may rely upon information developed for other similar pollutiom control programs, including the Mined Land Redlamation Plan. Appropriate pot'tions of these other plans may be incorporated in the SWMP by reference, as long as a complete SWMP can be~ reproduced
