December 17, 1990)and oil and gas exploration, production,processing,or treatment operations,or transmission facilities that
discharge stormwater contaminated by contact with or that has come into contact with,any overburden,raw material,intermediate
products,finished products,byproducts or waste products located on the site of such operations;(inactive mining operations are
