PART I Page No. 13 Permit No.: C00048275 e) Spill Prevention and Response Procedures - Areas where potential spills can occur, and their accompanying drainage points, shall be identified clearly in the SWMP. Where appropriate, specifying material handling procedures and storage requirements in the plan shall be considered. Procedures for cleaning up spills shall be identified in the plan and made available to the appropriate personnel. The necessary equipment to implement a clean-up shall be available to personnel. Employee Education - The SWMP shall describe employee education programs to inform personnel at all levels of responsibility (who are involved in mining activities that may impact stormwater runoff) of the components and -goals of the SWMP. Education shall address topics such as spill response, good housekeeping and material management practices. The SWMP shall identify periodic dates for suds instruction. Contractor or temporary personnel shall be informed of mine operations and control features in order to prevent stormwater pollution from occurring. g) Identification of Discharges other than Stormwater -The stormwater conveyance system on the site shall be evaluated for the presence of discharges other than stormwater. The SWMP shall include a description of the results of any evaluation for the presence of discharges other than stormwater, the method used, the date of any evaluations and the on -site drainage points that were directly observed during the evaluation. A number of discharges other than stormwater may not require a CDPS Wastewater Discharge permit and are considered Allowable Non - stormwater Discharges. These are listed at Part I.D.3, below. Any of these discharges that exist at the site must be identified in the SWMP. v. Comprehensive Inspection The SWMP shall identify qualified personnel that shall inspect designated equipment and mine areas at appropriate intervals specified in the plan, at least twice a year (in the spring and fall). The operator shall keep a record of such inspections. This record shall be made available to the Division upon request and summarized in the Annual Report (see Part I.E.I of the permit). vi. Consistency with Other Plans S WMPs may reflect requirements for Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans under section 311 of the CWA, or Best Management Practices (BMPs) Programs otherwise required by a CDPS permit, and may incorporate any part of such plans into the SWMP by reference. The SWMP may rely upon information developed for other similar pollution control programs, including the Mined Land Reclamation Plan. Appropriate portions of these other plans may be incorporated in the SWMP by reference, as long as acomplete SWMP can be reproduced and submitted to the requesting agency within the time frame specified in the request. Those portions of the referenced documents must be included in the submittal. The SWMP must also be readily available to an on -site inspector. The Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) for Peabody Sage Creek Mine Complex shall be developed to cover the inactive portions of the mine. The plan shall identify potential sources of pollution (including sedinent) which may reasonably be expected to affect the quality of stormwater discharges associated with the inactive mining operation. In addition, the plan shall describe and ensure the implementation of best management practices (BMPs) which will be used to reduce the pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with the inactive mining operation and to assure compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit. Inactive Mining Areas The SWMP shall include the following items for the inactive portions of the site, at a minimum: i. Description of Mining Activities The plan shall provide a narrative description of the mining and associated activities that took place at the site. The narrative description shall report the approximate dates of operation, the total acreage within the mine site and an estimate of the number of acres of disturbed area. A general description of the location of the mining site relative to major transportation routes and communities shall also be provided. ii. Site Map Each plan shall provide a generalized site map or maps which indicate any of the following which may be applicable:
