SWM Plan Reviewer EXAM WITH |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
CORRECT ANSWERS |\
What is the belief that Environmental Site Design is grounded in?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Environmental balance can be maintained as new communities |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
are developed throughout our watersheds if basic principles are
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
obeyed.
Describe the contrast between the old view of stormwater and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Environmental Site Design's view of stormwater. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
The old view of stormwater was as a waste product in need of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
disposal, but ESD views stormwater as a precious resource that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
must be used carefully
|\ |\ |\
In the field of stormwater management, what does (Tv) stand
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for?
treatment volume |\
In the field of stormwater management, what does (LID) stand
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for?
Low Impact Development
|\ |\
,What would (TP) stand for with regards to BMP Pollutant Removal
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Effeciencies?
|\
total phosphorus
|\
In the field of stormwater management, what does (EMC) stand
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for?
Event Mean Concentration
|\ |\
In the field of stormwater management, what does (MTD) stand
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for?
Manufactured Treatment Devices |\ |\
In the field of stormwater management, what does (HSG) stand
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for?
Hydrologic Soil Group |\ |\
In the field of stormwater management, what does (CN) stand
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for?
Curve Number |\
,What is a filter strip (Design Standard 2)?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Vegetated Areas that treat sheet flow delivered from adjacent
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
impervious and managed turf areas by slowing runoff velocities
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and allowing sediment and attached pollutants to settle and /or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
be filtered by the vegetation.
|\ |\ |\ |\
What is soil restoration or soil compost amendments (Design
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Standard 4)? |\
a Environmental Site Design Practice applied after construction to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
deeply till compacted soils and restore their porosity by
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
amending them with compost. |\ |\ |\
What are vegetated roofs (Design Standard 5)?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
alternative roof surfaces that typically consist of waterproofing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and drainage materials and an engineered growing media that is
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
designed to support plant growth. |\ |\ |\ |\
What are the two types of vegetative roofs? What are the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
differences?
-Intensive vegetated roofs have a deeper growing media layer
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
that ranges from 6" to 4' thick, which is planted with a wider
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
variety of plants, including trees.-Extensive vegetated roofs have
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
a shallower growing media (2-6"), which is planted with carefully
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
selected drought tolerant vegetation.
|\ |\ |\
, What is permeable pavement (Design standard 7)?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
an alternative paving surface that allows stormwater runoff to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
filter through voids in the pavement surface into an underlying
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
stone reservoir, where it is temporarily stored and/or infiltrated.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What 4 layers would you expect to see in a permeable
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
pavement?
-Surface pavement layer |\ |\
-Underlying Stone Aggregate |\ |\
-Reservoir Layer-Filter Fabric |\ |\
Which stormwater design specification has the greatest runoff
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
reduction capability? |\
Infiltration practices |\
What type of sites should avoid using Infiltration Practices?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Any site designated as a stormwater hotspot
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
In the field of stormwater management, what does (CPv) stand
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for?
channel protection volume |\ |\
