Description:STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PERMIT for the expansion of existing mining facilities to phases 2A and 2B of the initial approval under MLA10 00072. The Plan addresses stormwater generated by Phases 2A and 2B mining activity. Phase 2A is proposed to disturb 15 acres of forested land, and create 0.4 acres of new hard road surface. Phase 2B is proposed to continue mining Phase 2A area to a lower elevation, with a cumulative 19.74 acres of land disturbance, and 0.44 acres of new hard road surface. With this much land disturbance and new hard surface, the proposed project is subject to meeting all 9 minimum requirements of the 2019 SWMMWW. The Plan proposes to meet requirements of the 2019 SWMMWW by implementing 2 independent stormwater systems, including: on Soil Quality and Depth in the 19.74 acres of landscaped areas, BMP T10.40 Combined Detention Pond / Wet Pond for Phase 2A using 0.35 feet of the available 3 to 5 feet of freeboard in the existing 4.5-acre Pond 3 in the Northwestern portion of the leased property. BMP T10.40 Combined Detention Pond / Wet Pond for Phase 2B sized at 1.35 acre feet of live storage volume over 0.41-acre feet of dead storage. Wetlands will be impacted by the proposed mining activity. A Wetland Inventory Update dated 9/21/2020, and a Final Wetland Mitigation Plan dated 11/10/2020 both by Robbyn Meyers SPWS of BGE Environmental, Bremerton, WA were submitted with the stormwater permit application.
