PART II <br />Page No. II <br />Permit No. COG-500000 <br />C. Stormwater Quality Controls: Each site covered by this permit shall develop a description of stormwater quality <br />controls appropriate for that site, and implement such controls. The appropriateness and priorities of controls in the <br />plan shall reflect identified potential sources of pollutants at the site. The SWMP shall clearly describe the installation <br />and implementation specifications for each BUT identified in the SWMP to ensure proper implementation, operation <br />and maintenance of the BUT. The description of stormwater quality controls shall address the following minimum <br />components, including a schedule for implementing such controls: <br />1) SWMP Administrator: The SWMP shall identify a specific individual(s), position or title within the mining <br />organization who is responsible for developing, implementing, maintaining, and revising the SWMP. The <br />activities and responsibilities of the administrator shall address all aspects of the facility's SWMP. <br />2) Materials Handling and Spill Prevention. Areas or procedures where potential spills can occur must have spill <br />prevention and response procedures identified in the SWMP. The SWMP shall clearly describe and locate all <br />practices implemented at the site to minimize impacts from procedures or significant materials that could <br />contribute pollutants to runoff. Such procedures or significant materials could include exposed storage of fuels, <br />other chemicals, or waste material; and equipment maintenance areas. <br />3) Erosion and Sediment Controls: Describe the BMPs that will be used to reduce erosion and prevent sediment <br />delivery to State waters. These should include structural (such as silt fences, sediment ponds, drop structures, <br />check dams) and non-structural (such as mulching and revegetation) practices. <br />4) Other Pollution Prevention Measures: The plan shall identify any other structural and non-structural measures <br />for stormwater quality control on-site. <br />5) Preventive Maintenance: A preventive maintenance program is required, and shall involve inspection and <br />maintenance of stormwater management devices (maintenance of dikes separating mine drainage from <br />Stormwater, cleaning oil/water separators and catch basins, etc.) as well as inspecting and testing of equipment <br />and systems to prevent conditions that could cause breakdowns or failures resulting in discharges of pollutants to <br />surface waters. These periodic inspections are different from the comprehensive site evaluation (see Part I.D.5), <br />although the former may be incorporated into the latter. Equipment, area, or other inspections are typically visual <br />and are normally conducted on a regular basis (e.g., daily inspections of loading areas). <br />6) Good Housekeeping The SWMP shall identify good housekeeping procedures that will be followed by the <br />mining operation. Good housekeeping requires the maintenance of a clean, orderly facility. This part of the <br />SWAP shall address cleaning and maintenance schedules, trash collection and disposal and collection practices, , <br />grounds maintenance, etc. <br />7) Identification of Discharges other than Stormwater• The stormwater conveyance system on the site shall be <br />evaluated for the presence of discharges other than stormwater, such as mine drainage, spoil springs, sanitary <br />waste, or process water of any kind. The SWMP shall include a description of the results of any evaluation for <br />the presence of discharges other than stormwater, the method used, the date of the evaluation, and the on-site <br />drainage points that were directly observed during the evaluation. <br />A number of discharges other than stormwater may not require a CDPS Industrial Wastewater Discharge permit <br />and are considered Allowable Non-Stormwater Discharges. Any of these discharges that exist at the site must be <br />identified in the SWMP. See Part of the permit for the list of such allowable discharges. <br />2. BMP Implementation and Design Standards <br />Facilities must select, install, implement, and maintain appropriate BMPs, following good engineering, hydrologic and <br />pollution control practices. BMPs implemented at the site must be adequately designed to provide control for all potential <br />pollutant sources associated with construction activity to prevent pollution or degradation of State waters. <br />Consistencv with Other Plans <br />SWMPs may reflect requirements for Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans under section 311 of the <br />CWA, or Best Management Practices (BMPs) Programs otherwise required by a CDPS permit, and may incorporate any part of <br />such plans into the SWMP by reference. The SWMP may rely upon information developed for other similar pollution control <br />programs, including the Mined Land Reclamation Plan. Appropriate portions of these other plans may be incorporated in the <br />SWMP by reference, as long as the reference materials are maintained on site, and a complete SViW can be reproduced and <br />submitted to the requesting agency. The SWMP must also be readily available to an on-site inspector.
