location of the air monitoring station referenced by this air quality permit. Air emissions are further discussed below in the section related to Teller County Land Use Regulations Table 7 -Air Quality. The inclusion of the air permit and a map showing the location of the air monitoring points satisfies Section 5.6.1 of the proposed CCMOD regulations. CC&V has a solid waste generator identification number, which allows CC&V to generate, temporazily store, and ship miscellaneous wastes to appropriate recycling and disposal facilities if those substances aze classified as "hazardous: ' In 1999, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") reinterpreted the status of cupels and crucibles used in CCRV's on site laboratory for gold assays. In light of this reinterpretation, CC&V performed the requisite tests on cupels and crucibles, which resulted in lead values higher than those specified in the applicable federal regulations. As such, CC&V switched from being a conditionally exempt small quantity generator to a lazge quantity generator of hazardous waste in 1999 due to the quantity of cupels and crucibles used and disposed. Minor quantities of hazardous waste also are generated as a result of residuals in discarded spray cans, which are drained to enclosed drums for appropriate removal by an authorized waste handler. Other discarded materials aze managed in accordance with applicable federal and state requirements. CC&V is authorized by applicable state statute to operate a landfill for certain discarded materials generated in the course of its activities. However, CC&V does not, at present, place discarded materials into landfills other than inert demolition materials. CC&V recycles tires, cardboard, used oil, solvent (non-hazardous), metal, office paper, and aluminum cans, in addition to water, cyanide, • and cazbon. CDHPE issued a certification under the general storm water permit to CC&V, which covers the activities associated with mining and ore beneficiation operations. The general storm water permit number is COR-04000, and the certification number is COR-040049. A copy of this permitlcertification is contained in Attachment 8 of [his document. Storm water management is addressed in Amendment No. 8, Volume I, Section 9.0 of the Project Description. CC&V has been issued permits for water flowing from the Cresson Project area. One of these is for the natural stream "Arequa Gulch." The other is for the Cazlton Tunnel which drains ground water from the District into Foutmile Creek. One item that may arise is the status of CC&V's appeal of an adjudicatory judge's initial decision with respect to a spring discharge that has existed on the site since well before CC&V's operations. CC&V is incompliance with the applicable petmit limitations as those limitations have been established in District Court. This Amendment No. 8 proposal does not affect that spring system. Flows from the Carlton Tunnel also are in compliance with applicable permits and the assessment of future water quality shows that no change in water quality should occur under this Amendment. (See Sections 4.5 and 4.6 of the Project Description in Volume I and Appendix 1 in Volume II of the Amendment No. 8 application.)
