Industrial Storm Water Operator
Certification CORRECT 100%
Infiltrates the ground or evaporates - ANSWERUnder natural conditions the majority of rain water
that falls to the ground:
pollution prevention through storm water pollution prevention program (SWPPP) - ANSWERThe best
way to prevent contamination of storm water is:
first flush - ANSWERThe highest percentage of pollutants in storm water runoff occurs in the first few
minutes that storm water runs off. This is called the:
Be exposed to stormwater - ANSWERThe introduction of pollutants to storm water most commonly
occurs when industrial facilities allow operating procedures and industrial materials to:
oxygen depeletion - ANSWEROrganic enrichment of storm water runoff from sources such as food
processing, airport deicing, antifreezes, and sewage create addition oxygen demand in lakes and
streams. Much of the demand is due to bacteria feeding on these materials. The increased oxygen
demand can lead to this:
which causes fish kills
phosphorus - ANSWERThe addition of nitrogen and phosphorus to storm water runoff can result in
algal blooms and excessive growth of aquatic plants in fresh water systems such as lakes and
streams. In fresh water systems:
is the main cause of excessive plant and algal growth.
pollutants - ANSWERSediment is one of the most widespread pollutants in surface water. Many:
attach to finer sediment particles.
Short-Term Storm Water Characterization Study (STSWCS) - ANSWERA facility that has the industrial
storm water general permit with required monitoring or special use areas is required to conduct a:
