correct answers
What two plans in the SWPPP must be approved? - answer Erosion
and sediment control plans and stormwater management plans
must be approved.
Does the stormwater management plan address runoff during
construction or after? - answer The stormwater management plan
addresses post-construction stormwater runoff.
What impact does impervious cover have on water quality? -
answer The volume and velocity of stormwater runoff increases as
natural vegetation is replaced with roads, buildings, parking areas
and other impervious surfaces. The increase in stormwater runoff
, leads to an increase in pollutants, such as sediment and
phosphorus that are carried to waterways, which has a negative
effect on water quality.
What is the target pollutant in the water quality criteria ? - answer
Phosphorus
What is the lower limit of the range of imperviousness that scan
result in stream degradation? - answer 10%
The SWM regulation ensures water quantity is considered in
stormwater management planning to protect against which two
destructive forces? - answer Channel erosion and flooding.
Discuss how the rate of runoff changes after development. -
answer The rate of runoff increase after development because of
the replacement of vegetation with impervious surfaces. A larger
volume of water will travel more quickly through a stream
channel, potentially causing erosion and flooding.
A locality VSMP must be at least as stringent as what state
permit? - answer Construction GP (9VAC25-870-106).
What plans must a locality's ordinance require to be submitted
and approved? - answer ESC plan and SWM plan (9VAC25-870-
148)
List three violations for which a penalty may be imposed. - answer
(9VAC25-870-116)
