1.0 -INTRODUCTION <br />This construction stormwater management plan (SWMP) is intended to provide the information <br />and guidance necessary to support the State of Colorado General Permit for Stormwater discharges <br />associated with gravel and surface mining activities a[ the Sheehan Pit, Moffat County, Colorado. The <br />primary objective of this SWMP is to identify Best Management Practices (BMPs) which, when <br />implemented, will meet the terms and conditions of the general permit. The overall goal of the SWMP is to <br />maintain surface-water quality by reducing pollutants in stormwater discharges. The intent of a fully <br />implemented SWMP is to achieve compliance with Best Available Technology (BAT) and Best <br />Convention Technology (BCT), as mandated by the Federal Clean Water Act. This SWMP identifies <br />potential sources of stormwater discharges associated with the mining activities and describes the methods <br />of implementing BMPs. All BMPs at the site will be temporary and will be moved in conjunction with the <br />advance of mining activities (except for road ditches). <br />This SWMP contains the following sections: Site description in Section 2; BMPs for Stormwater <br />Pollution Prevention including structural and non-structural controls in Section 3; Final Stabilization and <br />Long-Term Stormwater Management in Section 4; Other Controls at the site in Section 5; and Inspection <br />and Maintenance procedures in section 6. <br />
