PART I <br />Page No. 17 <br />Permit No.: C00048275 <br />h. Termination of Storm water Permit Coverne Reguirement <br />i. Termination Criteria <br />a) Reclamation Permit Release: When a site has been reclaimed in accordance with the Colorado Division of <br />Minerals and Geology (CDMG) requirements and the site has been released from State reclamation <br />requirements, the permittee may request termination of the stormwater coverage under this permit. <br />ii. Reguest for Termination <br />When a site has been reclaimed in accordance with the CDMG requirements and the site has been released from <br />State reclamation requirements, the permittee may request termination of stormwater coverage under this permit. <br />The Division will consider termination of stormwater coverage when: <br />a) the permittee has submitted a completed Inactivation Form as provided by the Division which summaizes the <br />work accomplished; <br />b All stormwater discharges to state waters associated with mining activities have ceased and the CDMG <br />performance bond has been released; <br />d) The Division finds that the permittee has shown reasonable grounds consistent with tle Federal and State <br />statutes and regulations for such termination; and <br />e) Fee requirements of Section 61.15 of the State Discharge Permit System Regulations have been met. <br />Continued coverage may be required after reclamation or remediation has been compleed if the Division has shown <br />or has reason to suspect that the stormwater discharge may contribute to a violation of a water quality standard. <br />I. Stormwater Definitions <br />i. Best management practices (BMPs): schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, <br />and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of waters of the State. BMPs also include <br />treatment, operating procedures, and practices to control site runoff, spillage or leaks, waste disposal, or drairage <br />from material storage. BMPs include structural and nonstructural controls. <br />ii. Operator: the individual who has day-to -day supervision and control of activities occurring at the mine site. <br />iii. Remediation, as used in this permit, means actions taken to reduce or eliminate the overall adverse environmental <br />impact associated with a pollutant source. The term includes actions such as re-routing of surface flows, relocation <br />or a pollutant source, the addition of pollutant neutralizing or immobilizingsubstances, capping and re-vegetation. <br />iv. Significant Materials include but are not limited to: raw materials; fuels; materials such as metallic products; <br />hazardous substances designated under section 10 1(14) of CERCLA; fertilizers; pesticides; and waste products such <br />as ashes, slag and sludge that have the potential to be released with stormwater discharge. <br />v. Stormwater is precipitation- induced surface runoff. <br />vi. Mining operations include facilities classified as Standard Industrial Classification Codes 10 through 14 (mineral <br />industry), including active or inactive mining activities. This definition includes operations that have temporarily <br />ceased mining and are in "temporary cessation" status with the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology. <br />vii. Inactive mining operations are mining operations that are not being actively mined. <br />viii. Mine waste, for the purposes of this permit, means any mineral material such as overburden, raw materials, <br />intermediate products, byproducts, finished products or waste products, which; or has been mechanically disturbed <br />or moved from its naturally occurring location as part of a mineral extraction (mining) activity. Examples of mine <br />waste include: mine tailings, which is ore that has gone through a milling process and then been discaded, and waste <br />rock, which is rock that has been moved from its natural location, but not processed. <br />F. GENERAL MONITORING, SAMPLING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS <br />1. Routine Renortine of Data <br />Reporting of the data gathered in compliance with Part I.B.1 shall be on aquarterly basis.
