Which of the following is a Discharger's responsibility for the Off-Site
Compliance Option agreement submittal schedule? [ANS:]
Discharger must certify and submit an updated SWPPP at least 7
days prior to initial agreement implementation.
Which drainage area has storm water runoff that is most likely to

qualify as not being affected by the facility's industrial activity?
[ANS:] D1 - D1 is entirely non-industrial due to employee parking
only, landscaping and an administrative office, however this is
under the assumption there no commingled storm water
Guru01 - Stuvia
associated with industrial activity with this non-industrial area (e.g.
Grinding dust and metal fines from roof vents blow into D1).
By covering a small hazardous materials storage area located on
the west side of the Truck Parking area, the Discharger would
automatically qualify for No Exposure in that drainage area and
would not have to sample in D3. [ANS:] False - The facility would
not qualify since the trucks are still stored in this parking area and
are potentially a pollutant contributor, and the industrial roof
drainage also is in this drainage area. The facility is described to
have grinding dust and metal fines deposited on the roof from
roof vents, in D3. The presence of other industrial pollutants in this
drainage area prevent this from qualifying for no-exposure (e.g.
downspouts, pollutants from trucks and hazardous storage area).
In particular, the roof vents are a contributor of grinding dust and
metal fines.
Which scenario would best describe an NEC facility? [ANS:] All
operations are conducted within a building, truck trailers abut the

enclosed loading bay (or dock), vehicles stored outside are well
maintained, all materials are stored indoors.
Which of the following would prevent a facility from qualifying for
a NEC: [ANS:] A clean, double-contained above ground storage
tank used to fuel vehicles is not physically separate from the
vehicle maintenance shop.
An NEC will be assigned an NEC ID by submitting which of the
following? [ANS:] Submittal and certification of the site map, NEC
form, NEC Checklist, and annual fee.

In which of the following scenarios would a Discharger be
considered a New Discharger that would be required to obtain a
QISP to prepare necessary data and/or information to complete
Guru01 - Stuvia
the application for NOI coverage under the IGP? [ANS:] A newly
constructed industrial facility with a regulated SIC code that
discharges directly to a 303(d) listed impaired water body.
A Discharger's storm water flows off the industrial portion of a
facility into an open "conveyance". The conveyance combines
with flows from non-industrial areas and then leaves the property.
The flow does not discharge to an MS4 conveyance and the flow
commingles with discharges from facility B's roadways until it
ultimately discharges to a Water of the United States. Where is the
most representative discharge location for storm water associated
with industrial activities? [ANS:] The location where storm water
discharge leaves the industrial portion of facility A.
A New Discharger applying for NOI coverage is responsible for
identifying which of the following 303(d) listed impaired water
bodies? [ANS:] Any 303(d) listed impaired water body that the
facility directly discharges to and is listed in Appendix 3 with
impairments that have been identified as "more likely to be
associated with industrial storm water".

When must a Discharger that had NOI coverage under the 97-03-
DWQ order and recertified under 2014-0057-DWQ order describe
any industrial pollutants related to impaired water bodies in the
SWPPP? [ANS:] By July 1, 2015.
All Dischargers applying after July 1, 2015 are considered New
Dischargers. [ANS:] False
A QISP assisting a New Discharger with discharges directly to a
303(d) listed impaired water body is required to evaluate the
facility for all of the constituents for which the Hydrologic Unit

Code 10 watershed is impaired. [ANS:] False
A Discharger with an NOI is required to monitor for any identified
industrial pollutants in the pollutant source assessment, if the
Guru01 - Stuvia
watershed is impaired for that pollutant. [ANS:] False
A Discharger with an NEC is required to monitor for any identified
industrial pollutants in the pollutant source assessment, if the
watershed is impaired for that pollutant. [ANS:] False
A facility that does not discharge storm water to a Water of the
United States is required to monitor for any identified industrial
pollutants in the pollutant source assessment, if the watershed is
impaired for that pollutant. [ANS:] False
The 1977 SIC Code Manual published by the federal Office of
Management and Budget is the best resource for identifying

Which of the following would be considered an Advanced BMP?
[ANS:] BMPs that infiltrate, reuse, contain, retain, or reduce the
Guru01 - Stuvia
volume of storm water runoff.
The SWPPP must describe any spills or leaks of a significant quantity
that discharged in the previous ____ years. [ANS:] 5
Implementation of additional BMPs identified during the Annual
Evaluation must be completed within what time period? [ANS:] 90
days from the date of the Annual Evaluation.
The IGP allows for the use of alternative BMPs as an option for
which of the following pollutants? [ANS:] plastic materials
Which of the following would not be considered an Advanced
BMP? [ANS:] Diverting run-on and storm water away from
stockpiled materials.
