Public comment period: 401 Certification of the JC Imperial Jim Crow Mine NPDES NM0031236 / Periodo de comentario publico para la la Mina Jim Crow de JC Imperial NPDES NM0031236

The NMED Surface Water Quality Bureau opens the comment period for Clean Water Act 401 Certification of the draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for the JC Imperial, LLC Jim Crow Mine, permit # NM0031236.

This is a notification that EPA’s public notice and associated federal comment period have opened for the draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for the the JC Imperial, LLC Jim Crow Mine, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit number NM0031236. Additionally, NMED has opened the simultaneous comment period for the Clean Water Act Section 401 Certification of the draft NPDES permit.

When EPA Region 6 drafts a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for a discharge into one of New Mexico’s surface waters, NMED has an opportunity to assure that the discharge will not negatively affect the receiving waterbodies. This is documented through the 401 Certification and is required in accordance with state regulations at 20.6.2.2001 NMAC. NMED can make the draft permit more stringent if based on state law or can make comments to EPA for consideration in the final permit. NMED also has the authority to deny certification if the permitting circumstances will not guarantee that the discharge will meet water quality standards. 

The facility is located in Grant County, New Mexico. The discharges from the facility are to the Carlile Creek in Segment 20.6.4.98 NMAC of the Upper Gila-Mangas Basin in Grant County, New Mexico.

The draft permit, draft fact sheet/statement of basis, and other associated information can be found at the EPA public notice website and the NMED public notice website.

EPA has included the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) monitoring requirements.
