Metal Mining SWMP Guidance Document <br />Page 15 <br />a. Documentation of Permission: The plan shall include documentation of permission from the <br />land owner, if the remediation work is undertaken by someone other than the land owner. <br />In cases when remediation is being performed by an entity other than the land owner, written permission from <br />the land owner for the remediation project should be submitted to the Division with the SWMP. <br />b. Photographs: The plan shall include photographs documenting the condition of the inactive <br />mine site before any remedial action has occurred. For recently active mines, photographs of <br />the active mining phase may be substituted. <br />Photographs should adequately portray significant potential pollution sources at the site before remedial actions <br />begin. These photographs will be used to asses the magnitude of the remediation project and to track the <br />progress of the project. <br />c. Description of Remedial Action: The plan shall describe the remedial action that will take place <br />to minimize or eliminate the water quality impacts from the mine waste. <br />The description of remedial action is a narrative statement of the goal of the remediation project and the general <br />scale of the remediation based on existing conditions. <br />The description shall include: <br />- Remediation Goal Statement; <br />The statement of the project goal should summarize the planned tactics for handling the various pollution <br />sources at the site. This should also include any plans for how the remediation may facilitate future land uses, <br />as well as a proposed schedule for the project, including major benchmazks for remediation activities. <br />the characteristics of the mineralogtc content of the mine-waste, and estimated volume of <br />the waste; <br />This section should include a summary of any available information on the metals, and other pollutants capable <br />of being leached or eroded from the mine-waste, including any acid-generating materials. An estimate of the <br />total volume of material to be remediated should be divided into sepazate estimates for material having <br />significantly different compositions and final remediation goals. <br />- description of any materials that will be mixed into the mine waste on stte; and <br />Any materials that will be imported to the site to be mixed with the mine waste should be noted (including <br />manure, fertilizer, fly ash, etc.). If appropriate, BMPs that will be implemented to reduce the potential of <br />imported material to contribute pollutants to stormwater dischazges should be developed and noted in the <br />"description of BMPs° section below. BMPs should address imported material stockpiles, use, and final <br />stabilization, as appropriate. <br />- estimated surface area of the final site, and estimated angle of side slopes. <br />Provide an estimate of the final surface azea that will be affected by the remediation project and an estimate of <br />the angle of the proposed side slopes. <br />
