COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH& ENVIRONMENT- Water Quality Control Division <br /> Rationale -Page 6 Permit No. COR-040000 <br /> VI. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERMIT <br /> A. Prohibition on Non-stormwater Discharges <br /> The list of allowable non-stormwater discharges has been increased to include uncontaminated compressor <br /> condensate, irrigation drainage, lawn watering, and air conditioner condensate. These have been determined to be <br /> insignificant sources of water pollution, and do not need to be covered under an individual discharge permit. <br /> B. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)Requirements <br /> The purpose of a SWMP is to identify possible pollutant sources to stormwater and to set out best management <br /> practices that, when implemented, will reduce or eliminate any possible water quality impacts. A SWMP shall be <br /> developed and implemented for each site covered by this permit. The SWMP must be prepared in accordance with <br /> good engineering practices. (The plan need not be completed by a registered engineer.) The Division has a <br /> guidance document available on preparing a SWMP. <br /> The plan identifies potential sources of pollution (including sediment) which may reasonably be expected to affect the <br /> quality of stormwater discharges associated with mining or remediation operations. In addition, the plan describes <br /> practices which will be used to reduce the pollutants in stormwater discharges from the mining or remediation <br /> operation, and to assure compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit. Facilities must implement the <br /> provisions of their SWMP as a condition of this permit. <br /> SWMPs that were prepared in accordance with requirements in the original version of the permit need not be <br /> amended to conform to this format. <br /> Submittal of the SWMP is not automatically required under this permit. However, the Division may require submittal <br /> upon request, and review the SWMP and require additional measures to prevent and control pollution. It is the <br /> Division's intent to request submission of such reports on a selective basis. See Part I.B, of the permit for a more <br /> detailed description of SWMP requirements for active mines and Part I.C of the permit for inactive mines and <br /> remediation projects. <br /> 1.
