6.0 Inspection and Maintenance <br />This section provides a description of the procedures to inspect and maintain the <br />vegetation, erosion and sediment control measures and other BMPs identified in this <br />construction SWMP. In accordance with the permit requirements, the entire stormwater <br />management system will be inspected every 14 days during mining activities and after <br />any significant precipitation or snowmelt event that causes significant erosion. The <br />BMPs will be maintained in good and effective operating condition during mining <br />activities. <br />During Mining and hauling activities at the site, silt fences (if used) ditches <br />(where present) will be inspected for excessive sediment buildup that may infringe on the <br />freeboard. If such excessive sediment buildup occurs, the sediment will be removed, as <br />necessary. The stability of silt fences will be inspected for proper anchorage at the base, <br />for verticality of the fence supports and for fabric tears or rips. Appropriate repairs will <br />be made as necessary if significant problems are noted. Inspections, testing, and <br />preventive maintenance will be performed on all site equipment and operational systems. <br />This program will aim toward prevention of failures by adjustment, repair or replacement <br />of site equipment and /or structures. All excavating and hauling equipment will be <br />regularly inspected and maintained. <br />The administrators for the SWMP at this site will be Mr. Monte Downare (owner of <br />DRM&S Permit #M-1984-101 TR2), and a designated contract operator employee. They <br />will be responsible for the development, implementation, maintenance and revision of <br />this SWMP.
