FSESCI (Florida Storm water, Erosion, and Sedimentation Control Inspector) Final Exam Questions and Answers (100% Correct) | New 2026/2027 Update | Graded A+. is the process by which the land surface is worn away by the action of wind, water, and gravity. erosion is the settling out of soil particles transported by water and wind. sedimentation soil erosion can be classified as either erosion or erosion, and the sources can be either or wind; water; natural; manmade water erosion can be classified as either erosion or and erosion. overland; stream; channel four processes of overland erosion are? splash or rain drop erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion, and gully erosion FSESCI four principle factors influencing soil erosion are? soil characteristics, vegetative cover, topography, and climate apply practices to prevent excessive on-site damage erosion control Keep runoff velocities and runoff on the site. low; retain it is very important to stabilize disturbed areas after final grading to prevent raindrop impacts from causing erosion immediately implement a thorough and program as required in the Construction Generic Permit (CGP). maintenance; follow up Chapter 2 - Soils FSESCI soil particles smaller than 0.002 mm are classified as and are the two soil types that cause the most erosion/turbidity problems in Florida and the Word clay; muck list three physical effects of erosion and sedimentation: increased flooding reduced hydraulic capacity in rivers, streams, channels, reservoirs; increased maintenance of stormwater systems; increased water treatment costs; and decreased recreational value list three biological effects of erosion and sedimentation *reduced light for aquatic plants *clogs fish gills *impairs spawning *disrupts food chain *blankets bottom, suppresses aquatic life *disrupts ecosystem planning the development to fit the terrain using the particular: topography; soils; drainage patterns; natural vegetation of the site; and minimize the extent of the area exposed at one time and the duration of exposure FSESCI apply practices to protect the disturbed area from off-site runoff and to protect off-site areas from sediment damage perimeter control Soils in the Type A hydrologic group have infiltration rate and runoff potential even when thoroughly wetted high; low Soils in the Type D hydrologic group have infiltration rates and runoff potential when thoroughly wetted low; high the is the only factor in the Universal Soil Loss Equation which is beyond the developer's control rainfall index , , and are the factors most easily manipulated by the developer slope length, gradient, and cover factor FSESCI the RUSLE is used on our construction sites to predict: soil loss stabilize disturbed lands immediately to save money Chapter 3 - Temporary BMPs for Erosion and Sedimentation Control waste disposal is a problem for the individual workers and some subcontractors, but it's no big deal false truck washing should be done in designated area, not near the perimeter controls true FSESCI storage paints, solvents, cements, pesticides, acids, or other potentially polluting chemicals is no big deal because they are only stored temporarily and get used up quickly false the public needs to understand that dust is just a normal part of construction false a temporary gravel construction entrance must extend the full width of the entrance. it must be at least feet long and at least inches thick. Aggregate should be in. stone or FDOT No. 1 stone. prior to installing the gravel, a should be placed on the ground to simplify installation and maintenance 50; 6; 2; 1; geotextile
