A series of multiple-choice questions and answers related to the development and implementation of a stormwater pollution prevention plan (swppp). It covers key aspects of swppp regulations, including the identification of potential pollution sources, best management practices (bmps), and compliance requirements under the clean water act. Useful for individuals involved in construction projects, particularly those seeking to understand their responsibilities in managing stormwater runoff and preventing pollution.
