<br />III. Areas where Storm Runoff does not Pass through Sediment Ponds <br />Eastside Coal Company is operating under the General Colorado <br />Discharge Permit, COG-850000, Facility Number 19. The Colorado <br />Discharge Permit COG-850019 includes Outfall 001, Sediment Pond 1 <br />SP-1 and Outfall 002, Sediment Pond 2 SP-2. The SWMP includes <br />those areas not covered by the COG-850019 or the Mining and <br />Reclamation Permit, Permit Number C-84-063, from Colorado Division <br />of Minerals and Geology. These areas are: A. The small area <br />exemption near the intersection of the haulage road and County Road <br />237: Outfall 003; B. The haulage road to the mine: Outfall 004; C. <br />The outslope of SP-1: Outfall 005; D. The discharge structures of <br />SP-1 into Harvey Gap Drainage: Outfall 006; E. The outslope of CD- <br />1: Outtall 007; F. Outslope of SP-2 and Discharge from SP-2 into <br />Harvey Gap Drainage: Outfall 008; and G. Outslope from Soil <br />Storage: Outfall 009 (see Drawing: SWMP.DWG). The potential <br />pollutant from Outfall 003-009 due to stormwater runoff is <br />sediments. Fuel and lubricant spills occurring in the Surface <br />Facilities area are not likely to reach State waters with daily <br />inspection of the tanks and berms surroundings the tanks. The fuel <br />and lubricant storage amounts are relatively small (see Section K. <br />Materials Containment iv. List of Supplies On-site), Failure of <br />the berms around the tanks and failure of the collection ditch CD-1 <br />combined with a tank rupture could allow spilled fuel to reach the <br />Harvey Gap Drainage. Spilled fuel would have to flow over 350 feet <br />to reach the Harvey Gap Drainage. A failed tank and surrounding <br />berm coupled with a failure of the sediment pond (SP-1) could allow <br />spilled fuel to reach the Harvey Gap Drainage. Following this route <br />the spilled fuel would have to flow over 850 feet to the sediment <br />pond and another 300 feet to the bottom of the Harvey Gap Drainage. <br />with daily inspections of the berms and tanks and timely repairs of <br />damages due to erosion, spilled fuel will be prevented from <br />reaching the Harvey Gap Drainage. <br />U <br />4 <br />
