Scope And Intent

01. Scope and Intent. These rules establish the procedures and requirements for the issuance and maintenance of a permit to construct, operate and close a cyanidation facility. The provisions of these rules also establish requirements for water quality that address performance, construction, operation and closure of any cyanidation facility. These rules are intended to ensure that cyanide-containing materials, including spent ore, tailings, and process water, generated in cyanidation, and cyanidation pollutants are safely contained, controlled, and treated so that they do not impair beneficial use of waters or degrade waters. (7-1-26) 02. Compliance. Compliance with a permit issued under these rules does not release the permittee from liability for any unauthorized discharge to or any unauthorized degradation of waters caused by the facility.
