Metal Mining SWMP Guidance Document Page 14 , b. In the case of mine-waste remediation projects, the permittee has submitted photographic documentation of the post remediation conditions at the mine site; c. AIZ stormwater discharges to state waters associated with mining activities have ceased and the permittee has demonstrated to the Division the termination criteria have been met or the CDMG performance bond has been released; d. The Division finds that the permittee has shown reasonable grounds consistent with the Federal and State statutes and regulations for such termination; and e. Fee requirements of Section 6.16.0 of State Discharge Permit System Regulations have been met. Continued coverage may be required after reclamation or remediation has been completed if the Division has shown or has reason to suspect that the stormwater discharge may contribute to a violation of a water quality standard. For permittees seeking termination through mine-waste remediation, the Division foresees three general cases where the provisions allowed within the permit will be utilized. Inactive mine sites where the permittee begins a remediation project in order to terminate coverage under an existing permit. In this case, the permittee will amend their SWMP to address the remediation concerns as outlined below, and proceed with remediation. Certification under this permit would be terminated when the termination criteria and other conditions of the permit are met. 2. Inactive mine sites where no previous stotmwater permit coverage exists, and the owner or a third party (with permission of the owner) plans to remediate the site. In this case, the SWMP would be prepazed, including the items outlined below, and the owner or third party would submit the completed permit application. Certification under this permit would be terminated when the termination criteria and other conditions of the permit are met. 3. Inactive mine sites where, in conformance with the Voluntary Cleanup and Redevelopment Act, (CRS 25-16-303), mine-waste remediation projects aze undertaken. In this case, the SWMP would be prepazed, relying in part on information contained in the Voluntary Cleanup Plan. Once the Voluntary Cleanup Plan is approved by the Harardous Materials and Waste Management Division, the owner, or third parry with permission of the owm, would submit the completed permit application. Certification under this permit would be terminated when the termination criteria and other conditions of the permit aze met.
