R'e bout no record that you have applied for of obtained a stormwater <br />permit for the above-referenced site. <br />[n 1987, the US Cotigress amended the Clean Water Act to expressly include stormwater discharges <br />from industrial sites as requiring Clean Water Act controls. In 1990, EPA issued regulations that <br />require specific industrial activities to obtain permits in order to discharge stormwaur from their <br />facilities. Facilities involved in aggregau mining and processing aze specifically included. <br />The Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Health Department has direction and authority <br />to administer this program in Colorado. The Division has issued general permits for the regulated <br />industrial activities. An application form for the General Permit for Stotmwater Discharges from <br />Sand and Gravel Mining has been enclosed for your use. Please complete the application and submit <br />it to our office by December 19, 1997. Note that the application must include certification of <br />completion of a Stot7nwater Management Plan (SWI\~), and that the SWMP must be fully <br />implemented by the time the permit is issued. 1 have included a fact sheet describing the Stormwaur <br />program. <br />If you fail to obtain a required stormwater permit and discharge stotnlwater from this site, you aze in <br />violation of the Clean Waur Act and are subject to enforcement action by the Water Quality Control <br />Division. The Clean Water Act authorizes both civil and criminal penalties for willful non- <br />compliance. <br />The same holds true for any discharges of process or mine water from your site. If you have or <br />intend to have any such dischazges, you will need a different application (also available from our <br />office). <br />
