Stormwater Pollution Control Exam
Latest Updated Graded A+
Algae - ANSWER-free floating and used and light poles: process nutrients: can clog the
filters and may need to be thinned out
Aquatic plants - ANSWER-vegetation and what basins and wetlands characteristic as
rooted emergent; routing flotation; rooted submerged; free floating
Bacteria - ANSWER-remove nitrate from lakes basins and Bioretention filters; may also
remove sulfur, and hydrocarbons, pesticides and many other pollutants
Basins - ANSWER-water is detained for purity of time; generally designed on volume,
provide peak flow attenuation in treatment "settling"
BMP - ANSWER-best management practices
CFR - ANSWER-Code Of Federal Regulations page 15
Discharge associated with industrial activity - ANSWER-the status of the baseline
general permits, a list of categories of industrial facilities being considered for industrial
specific permits, in description of the procedures used to identify discharges appropriate
for each individual permits, and a description of how municipal system permits control
pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity.
EPA - ANSWER-Environmental Protection Agency
EPCRA - ANSWER-Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-know Act
Filters - ANSWER-stormwater flows through an engineered porous medium; designed
using darcy's law for flow through the porous media
Gross pollution traps - ANSWER-unit operation with large openings to remove large
solids such as litter, leaves, and plastics; usually manufactured and bought
Infiltrators - ANSWER-design volume is infiltrated into native soil to recharge an aquifer;
reduce runoff and remove pollutants; Jen lee designed using flow in saturated soils
It is best to incorporate post-construction storm management controls into new
development. Why? - ANSWER-It is easier to have the controls incorporated into the
original design than to retrofit.
Municipal separate storm sewer systems - ANSWER-a list of noticeable separate storm
sewer systems serving a population of 100,000 or more within the state, a summary of
