The Division has <br />clarified the rationale to explicitly state that preopnational mining sits arc not required to obtain stormwatcr <br />permits. The definitions of arrive and inactive mining sits do noJ include sits where mining claims are being <br />maintained prior to any disturbances assoriated with the exrraesion, benef~riation, or processing of mined <br />materials, nor sits where minimal activities are undertaken for the sole purpose ojmaimaining a mining claim. <br />• Sites at which only exploration has bun awduaed arc incbdtd in this exemption from stormwater permit <br />requirements. <br />However, as clarjfiaation, claims on land when !here has bun past e~raction, beneficiation, or processing of <br />mining material, but there is cutremly no active mining, arc considered inactive sits and are subject to <br />stormwatn regulations. <br />Sarah Pkcher <br />September 10, 1992 <br />• <br />
