The term "transition area" is one component of a:

Traffic Control Zone

What elements should be considered to improve worker safety in High Speed Temporary Traffic Control Zones?

Rerouting traffic around the work site, positioning of law enforcement officers in the temporary traffic control zone, and work zone training.

What key factors would you need to address when developing an S.O.P. for Lift Station failure?

When developing an S.O.P. for scheduled maintenance of electrical equipment, what program should be addressed as a primary safety guideline?

The L.O.T.O. (Lock Out Tag Out) Program

What document would you require to be referenced when developing an S.O.P. for hazardous substance spill cleanup as well as spill containment?

Permit Required Confined Space

According to a State Water Resources Control Board order, each Enrollee must develop and implement a system-specific:

Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP)

Category 1 SSO's that discharge to a drainage channel and/or surface water must be reported within:

2 hours

To report in the Statewide SSO Data-base California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS), regarding the location of a Category 2 SSO, you must know:

the GPS coordinates

Biological activity in long, sluggish-flow, flat grade sewer lines will likely cause odors, true or false?

True

Flatter sewer line grades may cause added sewer maintenance expense and odor nuisance. The problem is most likely caused by:

A decrease in velocity allowing organic and inorganic solids to settle out

Infiltration from a high water table can be one source of excessive clear water in a collection system, true or false?

True

What is the first thing to consider when selecting a solution to clear a stoppage in a sewer?

Cause of stoppage

The interior of 300 feet of 12-inch pipe is uniformly coated with one inch of grease. How many gallons will this pipe hold when filled with water?

12 inches (diameter of pipe) - 2 inches (grease on pipe) = 10 inches

Convert inches to feet:

10 inches x (1 foot / 12 inches) = 0.833 feet

Volume of a right regular cylinder:

V = 0.785 x Diameter x Diameter x Length of Pipe

V = 0.785 x 0.833 ft x 0.833 ft x 300 ft

False. Some options are proper stopping or benching of the sides of the excavation, supporting the sides of a trench with shoring, and using a shield in the excavation area.

Proper operation and maintenance of wastewater collection is keeping wastewater flowing through pipes, true or false?

True

Minimum design velocity for a sewer should greater than:

2 feet per second

Vitrified Clay pipe is a Rigid type of pipe, true or false?

True

Barrels, lids, cones, and backflow devices are all included in Manholes, true or false?

False. All are included except for backflow devices.

Sewer testing methods include air, water, mandrill, and sewage, true or false?

False. Sewer testing methods do not include sewage.

Using high velocity cleaners is one method included in hydraulic sewer cleaning, true or false?

True

A flow of 650 gpm would be how many MGD?

650 gpm x (1440 min / 1 day) = 936000 gpd

936000 x (1 MG / 1000000 gal) = 0.936 MGD

One of the advantages of using CCTV is that the length and severity of defective pipe areas can be recorded, true or false?

True

Offset joints are one hazard that may damage a TV camera going through a sewer, true or false?

True

What is the total volume of 1000 feet of 8 inch line?

Convert inches to feet:

8 inches x (1 foot / 12 inches) = 0.

Volume of a right regular cylinder:

V = 0.785 x Diameter x Diameter x Length of Pipe

V = 0.785 x 0.666 ft x 0.666 ft x 1000 ft

V = 348.19 cu ft

Convert to gallons:

348.19 cu ft x (7.48 gal / 1 cu ft) = 2604.47 gal

If an 8 inch force main has a metered flow rate of 400000 gpd, what is the velocity?

One way members of a bailing crew can communicate with each other is by using hand signals, true or false?

True

Why must you always know the distance when a cleaning tool is in a sewer?

So you know where obstructions or difficulties are encountered

Emergency stoppages in pipelines may be cleared safely by use of high velocity cleaners, true or false?

True

Rodents and insects can be controlled by spraying manholes with an approved pesticide, true or false?

True

How many types of common shoring are there?

6

If it takes 7 minutes and 30 seconds for dye to travel a distance of 860 feet through an 8 inch sewer, what is the velocity in feet per second?

Velocity = Distance / Time

Convert minutes to seconds:

7 min (60 sec / 1 min) = 420 sec

Velocity = 860 ft / (420 sec + 30 sec)

Velocity = 860 ft / 450 sec

Velocity = 1.91 fps

An upright circular cylinder tank (flat bottom) has a diameter of 12 feet. When filled to a depth of 8 feet, what is the volume?

Volume = 0.785 x Diameter x Diameter x Height

Volume = 0.785 x 12 ft x 12 ft x 8 ft

Volume = 904.32 cu ft
