RATIONALE - Page 2 <br /> Permit No: COG-070000 <br /> Coverage Under This Permit <br /> An applicant wishing to discharge under the general permit must first supply <br /> background information on the activity. The permit provides thirty (30) days <br /> for the Division to deny discharge authorization or request additional <br /> information. <br /> This permit does not constitute authorization under the provisions of 33 U.S.C. <br /> 1344 (Section 404 of the Clean Water Act), of any stream dredging or filling <br /> operations. <br /> The following list shows some of the criteria under which an individual permit <br /> may be required instead of a general permit. <br /> 1. Proximity of the operation to a landfill or mine and mill tailings; <br /> 2. Evidence of non-compliance under a previous permit for the operation; <br /> 3. Presence of downstream drinking water intakes; <br /> 4. Preservation of high quality water; <br /> 5. Addition of flocculants (settling agents or chemical additives) to water <br /> prior to discharge. <br /> 6. The use of land application as a means of discharge. <br /> 7. The bulk storage or use of chemicals on site that could be discharged <br /> through the construction dewatering operation. <br /> Permit Rationale <br /> The owner, operator and/or authorized agent for a facility desiring to <br /> discharge shall submit an application as provided by the Water Quality Control <br /> Division. This application will be evaluated. If the general permit is <br /> applicable to the operation, then a rationale will be developed and the <br /> facility will be certified under the general permit. <br />
