CISEC ACTUAL FINALS QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔ECB and TRM - ✔✔Erosion Control Blanket and Turf Reinforcement Mats
- RECB/ECB = usually put on hillsides
- TRM = usually put on channels
Inspect:
- Has seed been planted before laying the blanket?
- Is the material anchored in a trench?
- Do sufficient staples exist (2 in. apart?)
- Are the edges secure (w staples)?
- Can you pull up the TRM 6-12'? = Not good
✔✔Hard Armoring - ✔✔Using rip rap/ rock on hillsides
-Are animals borrowing in it?
- Is sediment accumulating on rocks?
- Is the rock being undercut or collapsing?
✔✔Cellular confinements - ✔✔Rigid plastic structure where soil can be placed into for
vegetative establishment.
✔✔Inspecting Hazardous and Waste Materials - ✔✔- Are materials stored
appropriately/ preferrably inside.
- Are the materials labeled?
- Are the materials disposed of properly? Is there a portable containment? (Example:
concrete washouts)
- Is there proper protection underneath materials and are they covered?
✔✔Inspecting Portable Toilets - ✔✔- Is it away from an inlet and off of paved roads?
- Are they anchored well and have a secondary containment underneath?
, ✔✔Gabions - ✔✔Steel mesh cages filled with small rocks, absorb wave energy.
✔✔ LDP - ✔✔Land Developing Projects - altering landscape for projects such as
agriculture or housing ect.
✔✔NPDES - ✔✔National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
- section of the CWA (Clean Water Act) to permit stormwater discharges associated w
industrial activities PER permit
