CISEC Exam
LDP - ANS-Land Developing Projects - altering landscape for projects such as
agriculture or housing ect.
NPDES - ANS-National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
- section of the CWA (Clean Water Act) to permit stormwater discharges associated w
industrial activities PER permit
CWA Penalty Types - ANS-Adminstrative
Class I. Neglegent
Class II. Knowlingly = greater fines
What documents are required on site? - ANS-- SWPPP
- CGP
- Site Map
- Drawings and Key
- All inspection reports
- Any amendments to SWPPP
Who is the "operator"? Also the LRP. - ANS-Usually the OWNER of the site, not the
contractor, unless authorized by the owner to general contractor to have day-to-day
operational control!
When do you need permit coverage? - ANS-Required from start to end of project. "End"
being the final vegetative/non-vegetative (concrete) stabilization occuring.
For any project one acre or greater.
Large Land Development - ANS--strips off all existing vegetation a.k.a site carving
-usually on hillsides and steep slopes
-installation of untilities that tear up large areas of land
Vertical Projects - ANS-- Homebuilding, smaller residence construction projects
-usually multiple subcontractors
-requires lots of housekeeping = mass choas
, Bix Box Projects - ANS--commercial buildings
-mass grading and mass choas
-highly visible w/ fairly large footprint
Linear Projects - ANS--roadways, utilities, and stream corridors
-long narrow sites and mass choas
-limites site access and continually changing (high activity)
What is erosion? - ANS-The process by which soil particle get displaced by the act of
wind of water.
What are the three types of Wind Erosion? - ANS-1. Creep - causes sand dunes
<10%
-large particle that roll across a terrain
2. Saltation - bouncing particles that DISLODGE more particles, then fall back down
~50-80%
- stay relatively close to ground
3. Suspesion - suspended way up into the atmosphere
~ 5-25%
-light weight soil particles dusted in the air
Which method of wind erosion moves the most soil? - ANS-Saltation
What are the types of water erosion? - ANS-Raindrop erosion
Sheet erosion
Rill and Gully erosion
Stream and Channel erosion
Shoreline erosion - by the act of waves
Landslides - difficult to prevent
Raindrop Erosion - ANS-dislodges many soil particles
Sheet Erosion - ANS-stripping away a thin sheet of topsoil from the surface of the land
-flat lands where water flows ontop due to runoff
-can transport large amounts of soil
-causes additional erosion
