PART I Page 8 of 20 <br /> Permit No. COR-040000 <br /> B. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN - ACTIVE MINES (cont.) 1 <br /> 5. Comprehensive Inspection <br /> The SWMP shall identify qualified personnel that shall inspect designated equipment and mine areas at appropriate <br /> intervals specified in the plan, at least twice a year (in the spring and fall). The operator shall keep a record of <br /> such inspections. This record shall be made available to the Division upon request and summarized in the Annual <br /> Report (see Part I.EA of the permit). <br /> 6. Consistency with Other Plans <br /> SWMPs may reflect requirements for Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans under section 311 <br /> of the CWA, or Best Management Practices (BMPs) Programs otherwise required by a CDPS permit, and may <br /> incorporate any part of such plans into the SWMP by reference. The SWMP may rely upon information developed <br /> for other similar pollution control programs, including the Mined Land Reclamation Plan. Appropriate portions of <br /> these other plans may be incorporated in the SWMP by reference, as long as a complete SWMP can be reproduced <br /> and submitted to the requesting agency within the time frame specified in the request. Those portions of the <br /> referenced documents must be included in the submittal. The SWMP must also be readily available to an on-site <br /> inspector. <br /> C. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN-INACTIVE MINES <br /> A Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) shall be developed for each inactive mine covered by this permit. The SWMP <br /> shall be prepared in accordance with good engineering practices. (The plan need not be completed by a registered <br /> engineer.) The plan shall identify potential sources of pollution (including sediment) which may reasonably be expected <br /> to affect the quality of stormwater discharges associated with the inactive mining operation. In addition, the plan shall <br /> describe and ensure the implementation of best management practices (BMPs) which will be used to reduce the pollutants <br /> in stormwater discharges associated with the inactive mining operation and to assure compliance with the terms and <br /> conditions of this permit. <br /> Inactive mining operations must implement the provisions of their SWMP as a condition of this permit. The <br /> Division reserves the right to review the plan, and to require additional measures to prevent and control pollution as <br /> needed. <br /> SWMPs which met criteria contained in the previous version of this permit are acceptable. <br /> The SWMP shall include the following items, at a minimum: <br /> 1. Description of Mining Activities <br /> The plan shall provide a narrative description of the mining and associated activities that took place at the site. The <br /> narrative description shall report the approximate dates of operation, the total acreage within the mine site and an <br /> estimate of the number of acres of disturbed area. A general description of the location of the mining site relative <br /> to major transportation routes and communities shall also be provided. <br /> 2. Site Map <br /> Each plan shall provide a generalized site map or maps which indicate any of the following which may be <br /> applicable: <br /> - mining/milling site boundaries and access and haul roads; <br /> - areas used for storage of overburden, materials, soils, tailings or wastes; <br /> - areas used for outdoor manufacturing, storage or disposal of materials; <br /> - tailings piles and ponds; <br /> - an estimate of the direction(s) of surface flow; <br /> - existing structural control measures to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff; and <br /> - springs, streams, wetlands and other surface waters. <br />
