Inspection Summary:
The facility developed a SWPPP plan even though the general permit does not require one. In addition, they have an
SPCC plan which incorporates many elements of the storm water permit in it. Issues observed at the facility include the
following:
1. No evaluation of feasible alternatives to current practices (i.e., containment for fueling area, designated vehicle wash
area with containment).
2. Training log not available on site and training program does not specifically include storm water.
3. Inspection reports indicated that deficiencies were noted, but they were not explained nor was there indication that they
had been resolved.
4. Qualitative monitoring is not being conducted.
5. Request for representative outfall status not available on site.
6. Need to provide an annual update page in the SWPPP
DWQ staff needs to determine whether the discharge of mine dewatering water directly to surface waters is in compliance
with the permit. The facility indicated that they are closed loop (yet analytical monitoring is still conducted). However,
when there is no need for the water collected from the pit, it is discharged directly to a "pond" which outfalls to a stream.
There is no weir or other device to hold the water in the pond.prior to discharge to the stream. The analytical sample site
is located in this stream, downstream of the pond.

3. BY ate ssing_of Stormwater Control Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of stormwater from any portion of a stormwater
control facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or
operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage' means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the
control facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent
loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in
production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to
be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
Page 17 of 24 Pages
Permit No. NCG020000
C. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, It shall
submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including
an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part 11, E. S. of this general permit. (24-hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee
for bypass, unless:
(a) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(b) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary. control
facilities, retention of stormwater or maintenance during normal periods of
equipment downtime gr dly weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate
backup controls should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable
engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods
of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(c) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Director may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if
the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph
d. (1) of this section.
4. 1lRSP
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors
beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance
to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment or control
facilities, Inadequate treatment or control facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or
careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
C. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
