9) riprap
10) swales
◉ Diversions: Descr & Purp. Answer: temp or permanent, structural
bmps that are utilized to intercept and divert run on/off site water
and off site runoff to a stabilized outlet or treatment practice.
◉ Diversions:object. Answer: 1) runoff control
2) erosion control
,3) post-construction management
◉ Diversions: targeted pollutants. Answer: 1) sediment
◉ Diversions: Applications. Answer: 1) divert run on water away
from disturbed areas
2) above existing disturbed slopes and cut or fill slopes
3) across unprotected slopes to reduce slope length
4)diversion of sediment laden water
5)construction perimeter
◉ Diversions: Limitations. Answer: 1) downstream flooding
2) freezing weather
3) violation of local/state run off regulations
4) topographic features
◉ Diversions:Imple consid. Answer: 1) they should be sufficiently
sized
2) outfall protection
3) vegetated channels should be used whenever possible
4) look at velocity within the channel and provide temp stabilization
,◉ Diversions:inspect. Answer: 1) installed as shown on plan/swppp
2) the presence of trash debris, or sediment accumulation
3) proper function of energy dissipation devices
4) sufficient vegetation to reduce erosion
5) evidence of over-topping
6) presence of erosion at bends/grade changes
◉ Diversions:Maint. Answer: 1) ensure adequate stabilization of
erosion areas
2) repair damage to lining materials as needed
3) repair damage (rills, gullies)when encountered
4) remove accumulated sediment in swal
5) remove debris and trash
◉ Diversions:poten assoc bmp. Answer: 1) rip rap
2) recp
3) seeding
4) outlet velocity protection
5) pipe slope drain
◉ Good housekeeping/ materials management include. Answer: 1)
Concrete washout area
, 2) Dust Control

5) Sanitary Waste Management
6) Secondary Containment
7) Stockpile Management
8) Trash Containment
◉ Concrete wash out area: Descrip & purl. Answer: structural bmp
that contains concrete removed form vehicles/equipment by
washing and prevents it from entering storm drains or water bodies.
these washout areas may exist with or without linings.

2) ph
◉ Concrete wash out area: applications. Answer: 1) concrete
vehicles/equipment are washed out on-site
2) where fresh concrete or concrete waste must be disposed of on-
site
