1.4Receiving Waters

Instructions:

―List the waterbody(s) that would receive stormwater from your site, including streams, rivers, lakes, coastal waters, and wetlands. Describe each as clearly as possible, such as Mill Creek, an unnamed tributary to Mill Creek, and so on.

―Indicate the location of all waters, including wetlands, on the site map.

―Note any stream crossings, if applicable.

―Where applicable, list the storm sewer system or drainage system that stormwater from your site could discharge to and the waterbody(s) that it ultimately discharges to.

―If any of the waterbodies above are Outstanding Alabama Waters (OAW) or Outstanding National Resource Waters (ONRW), or Treasured Alabama Lake (TAL), your BMP Plan should specifically include all reasonable measures to ensure the discharges from your site will not interfere with the waterbody(ies) designated use. For a list of OAW, ONRW and TAL waterbodies, see ADEM Admin. Code r. 335-6-11-.02 at the following link: http://www.adem.state.al.us/alEnviroRegLaws/files/Division6Vol1.pdf

―If any of the waterbodies above are impaired and/or subject to Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), please list the pollutants causing the impairment and any specific requirements in the TMDL(s) that are applicable to mining sites. Your BMP Plan should specifically include all reasonable measures to prevent the discharge of these pollutants.

―Also, for a list of TMDLs and 303(d) impaired waters, see: http://www.adem.state.al.us/programs/water/approvedTMDLs.htm http://www.adem.state.al.us/programs/water/303d.cnt

Description of receiving waters:

Description of storm sewer systems (where applicable):

Description of OAW, ONRW, and TAL waters; waters listed on the most recently EPA approved 303(d) list; or waters subject to TMDLs:

1.5Potential Sources of Pollution

Instructions:

―Identify and list all potential sources of sediment, which may reasonably be expected to affect the quality of stormwater discharges from the mining site.

―Identify and list all potential known sources of pollution, other than sediment, which may reasonably be expected to affect the quality of stormwater discharges from the mining site.

1.6Maps

Instructions:

―Attach to the Application, a 7.5 minute series USGS topographic map(s) or equivalent map(s) no larger than 11 by 17 inches (several pages may be necessary) of the area extending to at least one-mile beyond the property boundaries. The topographic or equivalent map(s) must include a caption indicating the name of the topographic map, name of the registrant, site name, county, and township, range, & section(s) where the project site is located.

A site topographic map(s) (e.g.USGS quadrangle map), clearly showing:

―Sufficient detail to identify the location of the mining site;

―Areas that are disturbed, and/or will be disturbed;

―Current drainage patterns;

―Identification of sediment control measures, erosion control measures, planned stabilization measures, and other site management practices;

―Locations of all waters of the State within a 1 mile radius of the site;

―Locations of wetlands and riparian zones;

―Locations of all points of discharge to waters of the State

Include the site maps with the BMP Plan.
