Stormwater Training Exam Solved
Correctly To Score A+
Standard 1-No new untreated discharges CORRECT ANSWERS No new stormwater
conveyances may discharge untreated stormwater directly to or cause erosion in
wetlands or waters of the Commonwealth.
Standard 2-Peak Rate/Flood Control CORRECT ANSWERS Prevent projects that affect
stormwater runoff volumes, rates, and discharge points from having adverse impacts on
downstream resource areas.
Standard 3-Recharge CORRECT ANSWERS Make sure that the volume of runoff
infiltrated to groundwater under post development conditions is the same or more than
the runoff infiltrated under predevelopment conditions.
Standard 4-Water Quality Treatment CORRECT ANSWERS Stormwater management
systems shall be designed to remove 80% of the average annual post-construction load
of total suspended solids (TSS).
Standard 5-Land Uses with Higher Potential Pollutant Loads CORRECT ANSWERS
Apply additional pollution prevention measures to those areas identified as land uses
with higher potential pollutant loads (LUHPPL).
Standard 6-Critical Areas CORRECT ANSWERS Prescribe additional measures to
address stormwater quality and quantity in areas identified as critical natural resource
areas that may be affected by the project.
Standard 7-Redevelopment CORRECT ANSWERS Allow flexibility within the
Stormwater Standards for project areas that have been previously developed.
Standard 8-Erosion and Sediment Control CORRECT ANSWERS A plan to control
construction related impacts, including erosion, sedimentation, and other pollutant
sources during construction and land disturbance activities shall be developed and
implemented.
Standard 9-O&M Plan CORRECT ANSWERS A long term operation and maintenance
plan shall be developed and implemented to ensure that stormwater management
systems function as designed.
Standard 10-Illicit Discharges CORRECT ANSWERS All illicit discharges to the
stormwater management system are prohibited.
Source Controls CORRECT ANSWERS Practices with the goal to prevent or reduce
pollution. (e.g. public education, installing anti-litter signage on hwys, reducing use of
