PARTI <br />Permit - Page 9 of 23 <br />Permit No. COR-340000 <br />D. EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS (cont.) <br />controls in the plan shall reflect identified potential sources of pollutants at the site. The SWMP shall clearly <br />describe the installation and implementation specifications for each BMP identified in the SWMP to ensure <br />proper implementation, operation and maintenance of the BMP. The description of stormwater quality controls <br />shall address the following minimum 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 <br />mining organization who is responsible for developing, implementing, maintaining, and revising the <br />SWMP. The activities and responsibilities of the administrator shall address all aspects of the facility's <br />SWMP. <br />2) Materials Handling nd Spill Prevention: Areas or procedures where potential spills can occur must have <br />spill prevention and response procedures identified in the SWMP. The SWMP shall clearly describe and <br />locate all practices implemented at the site to minimize impacts from procedures or significant materials <br />(see definitions at Part I.E.) that could contribute pollutants to runoff. Such procedures or significant <br />materials could include exposed storage of fuels, other chemicals, or waste material; and equipment <br />maintenance areas. <br />3) Erosion and Sediment Controls: Describe the BMPs that will be used to reduce erosion and prevent <br />sediment delivery to State waters. These should include structural (such as silt fences, sediment ponds, <br />drop structures, 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 <br />measures for stormwater quality control on-site. <br />5) Preventive Maintenance- A preventive maintenance program is required, and shall involve inspection <br />and maintenance of stormwater management devices (maintenance of dikes separating mine drainage <br />from stormwater, cleaning oil/water separators and catch basins, etc.) as well as inspecting and testing of <br />equipment and systems to prevent conditions that could cause breakdowns or failures resulting in <br />discharges of pollutants to surface waters. These periodic inspections are different from the <br />comprehensive site evaluation (see Part I.B.5), although the former may be incorporated into the latter. <br />Equipment, area, or other inspections are typically visual and are normally conducted on a regular basis <br />(e.g., daily inspections of loading areas). <br />6) Good Housekeeping: The SWMP shall identify good housekeeping procedures that will be followed by <br />the mining operation. Good housekeeping requires the maintenance of a clean, orderly facility. This part <br />of the SWMP shall address cleaning and maintenance schedules, trash collection and disposal and <br />collection practices, grounds maintenance, etc. <br />7) Identification of Discharges other than Stormwater• The stormwater conveyance system on the site shall <br />be evaluated for the presence of discharges other than stormwater, such as mine drainage, spoil springs, <br />sanitary waste, or process water of any kind. The SWMP shall include a description of the results of any <br />evaluation for the presence of discharges other than stormwater, the method used, the date of the <br />evaluation, and the on-site 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 <br />permit and are considered Allowable Non-Stormwater Discharges. Any of these discharge that exist at <br />the site must be identified in the SWMP. See Part I.B.8 of the permit for the list of such allowable <br />discharges. <br />3. 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 <br />potential pollutant sources associated with industrial activity to prevent pollution or degradation of State waters.
