2. Area Subject to Ej)7uent Limitations Guidelines <br />Each plan shall describe the portions of the mining site whirh contribute runoffio areas subject to <br />efj9uent limitations guidelines contained in 90 CFR subchapter N. <br />Marry mining sites are already regulated under other federal and state programs. The federal <br />regulations are under 40 CFR, Section 440 -Ore Mining and Dressing. This section covers the <br />mining milting; etc. of metals. If your site has a discharge of mine water, processing water, a <br />draining portal or adit, or runoff from arry active mining areas, that discharge must be covered <br />under a CDPS industrial discharge permit. This is not the same thing as your CDPS stormwater <br />permit The areas from which such discharges occur are then covered under the industrial discharge <br />permit, and so are not regulated under your stormwater permit. Same sources of stormwater which <br />are not addressed antler efrluent regulations are roads acrd railroadlirres, pond outslopes, inactive <br />loadouts (coal mines), sites for storage and maintenance oJmaterial handling equipment, etc. <br />2. Area Sabject to Effluent Limitations Guidelines <br />The Cash Mine.and Who-Do Mine site does not have arty industrial water discharges. <br />There is a tailings pond in the northern portion of the site. The tailings pond is zero discharge <br />and is protected from storm water nmoff by grading, ditches, and berms. There is no stormwater <br />contact with mill processing chemicals. <br />The mine openings on the site do not have arty groundwater discharges. The Site has been. <br />evaluated and no discharges other than stormwater discharges have been identified with the <br />following exception: small amounts of water seep from the hillside near the Mount Royale adit <br />and near one of the inactive adits. This water is considered to be shallow subsurface flow of <br />surface water, not groundwater. These discharges are allowable non-stormwater discharges <br />under the general stormwater permit far metal mining operations (Part I.D.3}. <br />J.~LNirmsLSWMP1Eula-Kingalsrmp rev ll-99 <t <br />November /, 1999 <br />
