Who is responsible: No velocity dissipation devices located at discharge
locations or outfall channels to ensure non-erosive flow to receiving water
Right Ans - Operator & Inspector (Maybe Designers - all 3)
Who is responsible: Control Measures are not properly selected, installed, and
maintained Right Ans - Designer, Operator & Inspector
, Who is responsible: Control measures are not properly - Maintenance not
performed prior to next anticipated storm event (count each failure to select,
install, maintain each BMP as one violation) Right Ans - Operator &
Inspector
Who is responsible: When sediment escapes the site, it is not removed at a
frequency necessary to minimize off-site impacts Right Ans - Operator &
Inspector
Who is responsible: litter, construction debris, and construction chemicals
exposed to storm water are not prevented from becoming a pollutant source
(eg screening outfalls, pickup daily etc.) Right Ans - Operator & Inspector
Who is responsible: Stabilization measures are not initiated as soon as
practible on portion of the site where construction activities have temporarily
or permanently ceased within 14 days after such cessation (exceptions: show
or frozen ground conditions, activities will be resumed within 14 days, arid or
semi arid areas) Right Ans - Operator & Inspector
Who is responsible: Common drainage of 10+ acres does not have a
sedimentation basin for the 2 year, 24 hour storm, or 3600 cubic ft. storage
per acre drained Right Ans - Operator & Inspector (maybe Designers)
Who is responsible: Where sedimentation basin not attainable, smaller
sediment basins, sediment traps, or erosion controls not implemented for
downslope Right Ans - Operator & Inspector (maybe Designers)
Who is responsible: Sediment not removed from sediment basin or traps
when design capacity reduced by 50% or more Right Ans - Operator &
Inspector
Who is responsible: Common drainage less than 10 acres does not have
sediment traps, silt fences, vegetative buff strips, or equivalent sediment
controls for all down slope boundaries (not required if sedimentation
sediment basin meeting criteria in 46 above) Right Ans - Operator &
