Storm Water Certification Exam with accurate detailed
|| || || || || || ||
solutions
Processes of the Hydrologic Cycle || || || ||
precipitation, evaporation, infiltration, runoff, transpiration || || || ||
Purpose of Clean Water Act || || || ||
Eliminate the pollution problems caused by municipal sewage and industrial waste water
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
NPDES Permit ||
A personal shall not discharge any waste or waste effluent into the waters of the state unless
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the person is in possession of a valid permit from EGLE
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
Goal of Storm Water
|| || ||
Reduce Pollution ||
-Store inventory inside
|| ||
-Use less toxic chemicals in operation
|| || || || ||
-Facility assessments ||
-Current Inventory ||
First Flush ||
,2
The initial surface runoff of a rainstorm
|| || || || || ||
-Roads are slick || ||
-Oil/grease are transported by water to drain || || || || || ||
-Contains highest pollutants || ||
Hydrocarbons
-Oil, gas, grease
|| ||
-Toxic at low concentration
|| || ||
Toxic Pollutants ||
Solvents, paints, pesticides, corroded metals, used oils
|| || || || || ||
-Can contaminate drinking water or fish which limit types of fish can be eaten safely
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Organic Pollutants/Enrichment ||
-Septic systems, airplane operations, antifreeze, food processing facilities, animal waste
|| || || || || || || || ||
-Decrease levels of dissolved oxygen in aquatic environment which can kill fish
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
Nutrients
, 2
-Common component of storm water runoff || || || || ||
-In freshwater systems phosphorus is main cause of excessive plant/algal growth
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Pathogens
-Inhibits recreational uses || ||
-can cause ear and or intestinal problems
|| || || || || ||
-Sources are sanitary sewer overflows, animal waste, failing septic systems
|| || || || || || || || ||
Sediment
-One of most widespread pollutants in surface water
|| || || || || || ||
-Eroding of unstable soils || || ||
-it can carry other pollutants with it
|| || || || || ||
-covers and damages habitat || || ||
Chlorides
-Salt, road salt || ||
-High concentrations can be toxic to freshwater organisms
|| || || || || || ||
What is the best method to prevent storm water pollution?
|| || || || || || || || ||
-Store everything inside || ||
