COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH & ENV/RONMENT -Water Qtmliry Control Division <br />Rationale -Page 6 Permit No. COR-040000 <br />VI. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERMIT <br />Prohibition on Non-stormwater Discharl!es <br />The list of allowable non-stormwater discharges has been increased to include uncontaminated compressor <br />condensate, irrigation drainage, lawn watering, and air conditioner condensate. These have been determined to be <br />insignificant sources of water pollution, and do not need to be covered under an individual discharge permit. <br />B. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) Requirements <br />The purpose of a SWMP is to identify passible pollutant sources to stonnwater and to set out best management <br />practices that, when implemented, will reduce or eliminate any possible water quality impacts. A SWMP shall be <br />developed and implemented for each site covered by this permit. The SWMP must be prepared in accordance with <br />good engineering practices. (The plan need not be completed by a registered engineer.) The Division has a <br />guidance document available on preparing a SWMP. <br />The plan identifies potential sources of pollution (including sediment) which may reasonably be expected to affect the <br />quality of stormwater discharges associated with mining or retnediation operations. In addition, the plan describes <br />practices which will be used to reduce the pollutants in stonmvater discharges from the mining ar retnediation <br />operation, and to assure compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit. Facilities must implement the <br />provisions of their SWMP as a condition of this permit. <br />SWMPs that were prepared in accordance with requirements in the original version of the permit need not be <br />amet:ded to conform to this format. <br />Submittal of the SWMP is not automatically required under this permit. However, the Division tray require submittal <br />upon request, and review the SWMP and require additional treasures to prevent and control pollution. It is the <br />Division's intent to request submission of such repots on a selective basis.
