CESSWI 2 || A VERIFIED A+ PASS.
Temporary stabilization correct answers stone or plastic as a BMP to reduce erosion by
stabilizing areas that will lay bare for an extended amount of time. EX. stockpiles, dikes, dams
5 types of plans correct answers 1. SWPPP
2. erosion and sed. plan (ESCP)
3. drainage plan/grading plan
4. spill prevention control and countermeasure plan (SPCC)
5. MS4 stormwater management plan/program (SWMP)
SWPPP correct answers -required by NPDES for industrial, multi sector, and construction
general permits
-addresses operations that come in contact with stormwater and specific BMPs for reduction or
elimination of discharges
-site specific
-identifies features, site activities and pollutants of concern
Erosion & sediment control plan (ESCP) correct answers -a component of a construction permit
-can sometimes be a part of an industrial permit (ex mining)
-shows all required E&S controls; including design, placement, and details
Drainage/ grading plans correct answers -a component of the swppp
-is used for inspection of MS4 stormwater systems
- sometimes combined with ESCP
Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan correct answers -part of construction permit
OR
-part of industrial multi sector permit
-may be included in MS4 permits (housekeeping)
-details all spill prevention measures on site
-details spill clean up
-details training requirements of staff
-details good housekeeping BMPs
MS4 SMP correct answers -outline 6 minimum control measures for phase II municipalities
-outlines all requirements of implementing a stormwater program for phase I municipalities or
sites (ex. hospitals, universities, or POTWs)
-details post construction inspection requirements, maintenance, pollution prevention, good
housekeeping, IDDE inspections
components of a plan correct answers -table of contents
-ESC plan
-certification
-NOI
, -site specific info (soils, topography, utilities, limits of project, runoff coefficient, receiving
waters and quality, environmental assessment)
-project infor
-disturbed areas of the project
-scheduling of construction activities
-maintenance schedule of BMPs
A plan certification correct answers identifies the person or persons responsible for
implementation
pollutants of concern correct answers sediment, turbidity, hydrocarbons, biological, nutrients,
metals, pH
MS4 may list TMDL requirements for the following pollutants correct answers solid waste,
temperature, Haz waste, trash, construction material handling, organics
example of a visible pollutants correct answers sediment or turbidity
example of non-visible pollutant correct answers pH
Categories of BMPs correct answers -site planning and management (training/ scheduling)

reporatable quantity of gasoline, antifreeze, battery acid, refrigerant, engine degreasers correct
answers air, land, water- 100lbs (13 gal)
termination of coverage qualifications correct answers -final stabilization achieved
-transfer of coverage
