Amendments to the plan shall be s~immari>ed in the Annual or <br />Compliance Report. <br />Prohibition of Non-stormwater Discharges <br />a. Except as provided in paragraph b, below, all discharges authorized by this permit shall be composed entirely <br />of stormwater.

Active Mining Operations. Qualified personnel identified by the operator shall make a thorough inspection of <br />their stormwater management system, at least twice per year (in the spring and fall). Where semi-annual site <br />inspections are shown in the plan to be impracticable because an employee is not stationed or does not routinely <br />visit the site, inspections as required in this part shall be conducted a[ appropriate intervals specified in the plan, <br />but never less than once in two years. These inspections must be documented and summarized in the Annual <br />Report (see Part I.E.1 of the permit). <br />b. Inactive Mining Operations.

These inspections must be documented and summarized in the Compliance Report (see Part I.E.1 <br />of the permit). <br />c. Remediation Operations. Qualified personnel identified by the operator shall make a thorough inspection of <br />their stormwater management system, at least once per year (in the field season). Where annual site inspections <br />aze shown in the plan to be impracticable, because an employee is not stationed at or does not routinely visit the <br />site, inspections as required in this part shall be conducted at appropriate intervals specified in the plan, but never <br />less than once in two years. These inspections must be documented and summarized in [he Annual Report (see <br />Part LE.1 of the perrttit). <br />d. Inspection Requirements -ALL Operations.
