Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act c. Endangered Species Act d. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) e. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) A Certain non-storm water discharges may be necessary for the completion of construction projects. Therefore the General Permit authorizes such discharges provided they meet the following conditions except: a. Meet the NALs for pH and turbidity b. Not cause or contribute to a violation of water quality standards c. Comply with BMPs as described in the SWPPP d. Be infeasible to eliminate e. Causes or threatens to cause pollution, contamination, or nuisance E a. Erosion control is not needed. b. "Run-On/Run-Off" is not an objective. c. Sampling is not required. B TRUE OR FALSE: The SWPPP is a "living document" that is amended/updated to reflect conditions & reduce pollutants True Stockpiles require a linear sediment barrier at all times, and must be covered prior to a rain event or when inactive. A stockpile is inactive after __days of inactivity. a. 3 b. 7 c. 10 d. 14 D Once identified, dischargers shall begin implementing repairs or design changes to BMPs: a. Immediately b. Within24 hours c. Within48 hours d. ASAP, but not more than 72 hours D The discharger shall ensure a QSP develop a Rain Event Action Plan (REAP) __ hours prior to any likely precipitation event. a. Immediately b. 24 hours c. 48 hours d. ASAP but not more than 72 hours C A likely precipitation event is any weather pattern that is forecasted to have a __% or greater probability of producing precipitation in the project area. a. 10 b. 25 c. 50 d. 75 e. 99 C TRUE OR FALSE: At Risk Level 2 & 3 sites, receiving water monitoring is required if the receiving water monitoring trigger exceeded pH, turbidity and SSC. Bioassessment for sites 30 acres or larger. False (Risk level 3 only) Visual monitoring is required for non-storm water, pre-rain and post-rain at what Risk Levels? a. Risk Level 1 b. Risk Level 2 c. Risk Level 3 d. All of the above e. Risk Level 1 & 2 D A storm that produces ½ inch or more of precipitation, with a 48 hour or greater period between rain events is a/an... a. Qualifying rain event b. Extended storm event c. Inactive storm event d. Unsafe monitoring event A Upload photos to SMARTS that are taken during daily inspections of the LUP site before, during, and after every ___ storm event a. First b. Second c. Third d. Fourth C Which statement is false? Monitoring is not required when: a. the site/sampling locations are unsafe to access due to the storm event b. it is outside of scheduled site operation hours c. the contractor elects not to work and the site is "shut down" for a rainy day C The REAP must be onsite during construction and available a. for a minimum of 1 Year b. for a minimum of 3 Years c. 72 hours prior to any likely precipitation event d. Until the end of the construction project B NEL Violation Reports must be submitted to State Board within 24 hours after exceedance has been identified. NEL's are only subject to: a. Risk Level1 b. Risk Level 2 c. Risk Level 3 d. ATS Sites only D TRUE OR FALSE: All Annual Reports, or other information required by the General Permit (other than PRDs and NOTs) or requested by the Regional Water Board, State Water Board, U.S. EPA, or local stormwater management agency shall be certified and submitted by the QSD False (LRP or LRP's Approved Signatory) TRUE OR FALSE:LID's goal is to mimic a site's pre-development hydrology by using design and techniques that infiltrate, store, evaporate, and detain runoff close to its source. True Hydrologic source controls are a design technique that minimize and/or slow the rate of stormwater runoff from the site. Examples include: a. Reduction of pervious surfaces b. Use of landscaping as a storm drain treatment feature c. Drain rooftop downspouts to impervious areas d. Stormwater treatment facility B TRUE OF FALSE:LUP projects are subject to post-construction requirements due to the nature of their construction to return project sites to preconstruction conditions. False Which statement is false? Bioassessment monitoring is required for projects that meet all of the following, EXCEPT: a. Rated Risk Level 3/ LUP Type 3 b. Directly discharges runoff to a freshwater wadeable stream that is sediment impaired and has beneficial uses for cold, migratory, and spawn c. Requires post-construction stormwater treatment d. Total project-related ground disturbance exceeds 30 acres C Project sediment risk is: a. the relative amount of sediment that can be discharged, driven largely by scheduling and site characteristics b. the risk sediment discharges pose to the receiving waters. A TRUE OR FALSE: Discharges located within the watershed of an impaired water body, for which a TMDL for sediment has been adopted by the Regional Water Board or USEPA, must comply with the approved TMDL if it identifies "construction activity" or land disturbance as a source of sediment True A QSP is responsible for: a.
