1.0 - INTRODUCTION <br />This construction stormwater management plan (SWMP) is intended to provide <br />the information and guidance necessary to support the State of Colorado General Permit <br />for Stormwater discharges associated with gravel and surface mining activities at the Elk <br />Mountain Cattle Company - Chaparral Ranch Pit, Park County, Colorado (#M-1984-101 <br />TR2) the primary objective of this SWMP is to identify Best Management Practices <br />(BMPs) which, when implemented, will meet the terms and conditions of the general <br />permit. <br />The overall goal of the SWMP is to maintain surface-water quality by reducing <br />pollutants in stormwater discharges. The intent of a fully implemented SWMP is to <br />achieve compliance with Best Available Technology (BAT) and Best Convention <br />Technology (BCT), as mandated by the Federal Clean Water Act. This SWMP identifies <br />potential sources of stormwater discharges associated with the mining activities and <br />describes the methods of implementing BMPs. All BMPs at the site will be temporary <br />and will be moved in conjunction with the advance of mining activities (except for access <br />road ditches). <br />This SWMP contains the following sections: Site description in Section 2; BMPs <br />for Stormwater Pollution Prevention including structural and non-structural controls in <br />Section 3; Final Stabilization and Long-Term Stormwater Management in Section 4; <br />Other Controls at the site in Section 5; and Inspection and Maintenance procedures in <br />section 6.
