The SWMP ma reflect information contained in approved plans submitted for other similar pollution control programs, including the Voluntary Clean Up Program. (Voluntary Cleanup and Redevelopment Aci, CRS 5-16-303) as long as they contain the elements descnbed above. These plans must have been approved by the implementing agency prior to application for the Stormwater Pemiit. Appropriate portions of these other plans maybe incorporated in the SWMP by reference, as long as a complete SWMP can be reproduced and submitted to the regluesting agency within the time frame specified in the request. Those portions of the referenced documents must be inc uded m the submittal. The SWMP must also be readily available to an on-site inspector. b. General Limitations The following limitations shall apply to all discharges authorized by this permit: i) Stormwater discharges from mining operations or mine-waste remediation projects shall not cause or threaten to cause pollution, contamination or degradation of State waters. ii) Bulk storage structures for petroleum products and other chemicals shall have adequate protection so as to contain all spills and prevent any spilled material from entering State waters. iii} No-chemicals aze to be added fo the discharge unless percussion for the use of a specific chemical is granted by the Division. In granting the use of such chemicals, special conditions and monitoring maybe addressed by sepazate letter. iv) All dischazgers must comply with the lawful re uirements of counties, drainage districts and other state or local agencies regazding any discharges of stormwater to storm drain systems or other water courses under their jurisdiction. c.

Unless otherwise provided by the Division, the permtttee shall have 30 days after such notification to both make the necessary changes to the plan and to uriplement them. The permittee shall amend the plan whenever there is a chuge in design, constriction, operation, or maintenance which has a s'¢ntficant effect on the potential for the discbarge of pollutants to the waters of the State, or if the SWMP proves to be ineffective in achieving the general ob]'ectives of controlling pollutants in stormwater dischazges associated with minrng activity. Amendments to the plan shall be s>>**+*+~a*»ed in the Annual Report. d. Prohibition of Non-stormwafer Dischar¢es i) Except as provided in paragraph b, below, all dischazges authorized by the stormwater portion of this permit shall be composed entirely of storinwater. Dischazges of water other than stormwater must be addressed in a separate CDPS permit issued for that dischazge. ii) Dischazges from the following sources that aze co.~ib;,-ied with stora•.water discharges associated with mining activity maybe authorized the stotmwater pportion of this pemut, pprovided that the non-stormwater component of the discharge is identified in the SWMP (see Part I.D.2.c of the permit): fue fighting activities, uncontaminated compressor condensate, irrigation drainage, laws watering, air conditioner condensate, uncontaminated seeps and springs,-and foundation or footing drains where flows aze not contaminated. e.

These inspections must be documented and surmnari~ed in the Annual Report see Part l.E.l of the permit). The inspections must include the following: i) Disturbed areas and aeeas used for material storage that aze exposed to precipitation shall be inspected for evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system Erosion and sediment control measures identified in the SWMP shall be observed to ensure that they aze operating correctly. ii) Based on the results of the inspecfion, the description of [he potential pollutant sources and the pollufion prevention and control measures that aze identified m the SWMP shall be revised as appropriate as soon as practicable after such inspection. Revised control measures shall be ' lemented a timely manner, but in no case more than 90 calendaz days after the inspection, unless otherwise provided by the Division. iii) The operator shall keep a record of inspections, including the date of the inspection, major observations relating to the implementation of the SWMP, and actions taken in accordance with pazagraph 2), above. This record shall be made avazlable to the Division upon request and summarized in the Annual Report. f SWMP Availabiliri Upon request, the pemvttee shall submit a copy of the SWMP to the Division, the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology and EPA, and any local agency approving sediment and erosion plans or stormwater management plans, within the time frames specified in the request.
