PART Y <br />Page No. 27 <br />Permit No.: CO-0000213 <br />a) Reclamation Permit Release: When a site has been reclaimed in accordance with the Colorado Division <br />of Reclamation, Mining, And Safety (CDRMS) requirements and the site has been released from State <br />reclamation requirements, the permittee may request termination of the stormwater coverage under this <br />permit. <br />ii) Request for Termination <br />When a site has been reclaimed in accordance with the CDRMS requirements and the site has been released from <br />State reclamation requirements, the permittee may request termination of stormwater coverage under this permit. <br />The Division will consider termination of stormwater coverage when: <br />a) the permittee has submitted a completed Inactivation Form as provided by the Division which <br />summarizes the work accomplished; <br />b) All stormwater discharges to state waters associated with mining activities have ceased and the CDRMS <br />performance bond has been released; <br />c) The Division fords that the permittee has shown reasonable grounds consistent with the Federal and State <br />statutes and regulations for such termination; and <br />d) Fee requirements of Section 61.15 of the State Discharge Permit System Regulations have been met. <br />Continued coverage may be required after reclamation or remediation has been completed if the Division has <br />shown or has reason to suspect that the stormwater dischazge may contribute to a violation of a water quality <br />standard. <br />i. stormwater Definitions <br />i) Best management practices (BMPs): schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, <br />and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of waters of the State. BMPs also include <br />treatment, operating procedures, and practices to control site runoff, spillage or leaks, waste disposal, or <br />drainage from material storage. BMPs include structural and nonstructural controls. <br />ii) Inactive mining operations are mining operations that are not being actively mined. <br />iii) Mining operations include facilities classified as Standazd Industrial Classification Codes 10 through 14 (mineral <br />industry), including active or inactive mining activities.
