Mine Water Discharge Permitting Sample Clauses

Mine Water Discharge Permitting. The East Boulder Mine is authorized to discharge to surface water through the Montana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (MPDES) Permit (MT0026808) and groundwater through the Montana Metal Mine Reclamation Act Operating Permit (No 00149). Figure 1-4 illustrates the operational water management and discharge alternatives currently permitted at the East Boulder Mine. Regulatory water resources monitoring requirements are described in the Stillwater Mining Company East Boulder Mine Water Resources Monitoring Plan (operational) (Hydrometrics, March 2018). This plan includes operational, groundwater and surface water monitoring required by State and Federal regulatory permits, and also includes voluntary monitoring planned for the East Boulder Mine. The MPDES Permit was originally issued in July 2000, and was most recently renewed in November 2015. This permit expires every five years and must be renewed or terminated at that time. The East Boulder Mine MPDES Permit authorizes point source discharge through three outfalls as depicted in Figure 1-3. Outfall 001 authorizes direct discharge of treated mine water to the East Boulder River, and has not been constructed or utilized throughout mine operations. Outfall 002 authorizes discharge to a percolation pond located on the mine site. The percolation pond has been the primary discharge pathway used for managing treated mine water throughout mine operations. Outfall 003 authorizes discharge of septic water to a drain field located on the mine site. Discharges from Outfall 002 and 003 are to an authorized groundwater-mixing zone that originates near the percolation pond and extends 3,600 feet downgradient from the point of discharge to the approximate location of the East Boulder Mine Operating Permit boundary. The Operating Permit requires compliance with the MPDES permit and includes mitigations that minimize the influence of mine related activity on water quality. In September 2017, the Operating Permit incorporated a groundwater mixing zone for the discharge of non-point source mine impacted water from East Boulder Mine facilities – including run-of-mine waste rock used in the construction of the Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) embankment, and seepage from the TSF pond and under drain system. This groundwater-mixing zone became necessary to address the effects from infiltration of meteoric water through the TSF embankments constructed of waste rock containing high levels of nitrogen from explosives residua...

  • DISCIPLINE/DISCHARGE 21.01 The Employer may warn, suspend, demote or discharge an employee for just cause.

  • DISCIPLINE AND DISCHARGE CASES 13:01 An employee who is discharged by the Employer shall, as soon as may be practicable thereafter, be given written notice thereof and a copy of such notice shall, within seven (7) working days after such discharge, be forwarded to the President of the Union, which said Notice shall contain the reason for the discharge of the said employee.

  • Appeal of Discharge or Discipline Should the discharged or disciplined employee consider the discharge or discipline to be improper, a grievance shall be presented in writing as provided in the grievance procedure. In cases of discharge, or discipline resulting in suspension, the grievance shall be filed at Step 2 of the grievance procedure within 10 days of the discharge.

  • DISCHARGE, SUSPENSION AND WARNING 21.01 When the attitude or performance of an employee calls for a warning by the Employer, such a warning shall be documented, and a copy of this warning will be forwarded immediately to the regional office of the Union.

  • Discipline or Discharge ‌ No employee covered by this Agreement shall be discharged except for just cause. “Just cause” will include the concept of progressive discipline (such as verbal and written reprimands, the possibility of suspension and termination). Which level of progressive discipline the Employer will use in a situation will depend on the circumstances and severity of the regular employee’s conduct or work performance as evaluated by the Employer. Employees shall receive a copy of all progressive discipline warnings to be placed in their personnel file. Employees shall be required to sign the written warnings within forty-eight (48) hours for the sole purpose of acknowledging receipt thereof. The Employer agrees to provide a copy of the written disciplinary action to the Union within ninety-six (96) hours of issuance. The inadvertent failure to provide the Union with a copy of the disciplinary action will not be the basis to overturn the discipline for just cause. However, if such failure causes the Union to miss the deadline to file a grievance for the discipline, the deadline shall be extended for that amount of time. Progressive discipline will not be applied when the nature of the offense is just cause for immediate suspension or discharge. Employees who have been discharged by the Employer shall, upon request by the employee, be given a written statement of the cause of discharge by the Human Resources Department at the time of discharge or within a reasonable time thereafter. Employees may request in writing to have written disciplinary action in their personnel file removed if eighteen (18) months have passed without a related discipline. Such request will not be unreasonably denied.
