COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, S:acer Quality Control Division Renewal Peraic Rationale - Page 2. Permit ;1o.: COG-350000. • II. Permit Changes (continued) BMP's also include treatment requirements, operating procedures, and practices to control plant site runoff, spil'_age or leaks, sludge or waste disposal, or drainage from raw material, intermediate and finished product storage. Pollution prevention (incorporating waste minimi=acion) is an essential par= of best management practices. The permictee must look at all phases of the ooeracion to determine what changes could be made that would result in a lower consumption and/or disposal of pollution-generating materials, as well as minimising exposure of pollutants to storawacer. Such efforts often result in greater profit co the peraitcee and less poi'_ucion of tae environment. The mechanise for implementation of stormwater BMP requirements within this permit shall be the Scormwacer Management Plan (SWMP). The permitcee will be required co develop and implement a S'.7MP plan. Some activities required under this plan may already be in place. However, the SWMP plan will require the permiccee to coordinate these activities wit:t any necessary new activities in an orderly manner so chat the result is the reduction or elimination of pollutants reaching state waters from areas roc limited by effluent limitations. An added beaefic may be a reduction of pollution reaching other media, such as the air or hazardous waste disposal sites. In fact, the permictee is encouraged t.. • stri':e for tale overall boat. `There the reduction of water pollution only results in the •-ncrea.sed pollution o= ocher xedia, there is no net benefit co the environment. ': he peraicczes certified under this permit shall be required to submit a 5(.'MP co the Division for review within si:c months from the dace the certification is issued. The requirements of the plan do not specif'? toe exact pollution control facilities that the permittee must construct. Instead, the plan allows for creacivit;r on the permictee's part, as Long as the goal is achieved. Eac'.t permictee will need to deczrmine what controls era necessary at the specific site. ?'hen, the permicree wil'_ need co develop a plan Eor tae timely execution of these controls. 'mere construction is necessary, the plan shall include a schedule detailing the milestones involved with such construction. As necessary, =_lzmencs of the plan may require prior approval from the C:"L4D. The plan seal: include a statement signed by top management in ':hick taev affirm teat comoiiarce vita the plan shall occur. Also, __ s all orov'_de Eor up daces abets there _., a change in ooeracion chat will or ma,: result in a change in tae quaiiL;r of pollutants addressed by this plan, or '__ tie plan _~ shown co Se inef_feccive is acaieving tae sneci_'_ad goals. The plan, once submitted, will be incorporated into the permit end ice implementation will be considered a permit requirement.
