CEPSCI – Questions & Solutions (Expert Verified)
Erosion Right Ans - The process by which the land surface is worn away by
the action of water wind ice and gravity.
Factors contributing to erosion Right Ans - Climate (rain frequency),
Season (storms in summer), vegetative cover, topography, soil characteristics.
Sedimentation Right Ans - Process by which eroded material is transported
and deposited
Sedimentation effects: Right Ans - reduces water clarity, fills up
ponds/reservoirs, pollutants attached to sediment impact water quality.
1972 Clean Water Act Right Ans - Administered by EPA, created the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
NPDES in South Carolina Right Ans - SC is an NPDES delegated state.
NPDES regulations are administered by South Carolina Department of Health
and Environmental Control (DHEC).
epa DOES HAVE authority to exert jurisdiction in SC.
Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) Right Ans - state
body that administers NPDES regulations. Construction General Permit is
administered by DHEC
Construction General Permit Right Ans - Affects both small and large
construction activities. Must be obtained for land disturbing activities of:
- 1 acre or greater
- Less than 1 acre but within a 1/2 mile of a water body in the coastal
counties)
- Less than 1 acre of total land area that is part of a larger common plan of
development if the development will end up disturbing more than 1 acre.
Operator categories: Right Ans - Primary permittee: developer, land owner,
site operator, public/private entity
Secondary Permittee: Residential builder, lot owner
, Contractors
lending institutions
Primary Permittee Right Ans - They have operational control over
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), construction plans, and
specifications.
typically owner or developer
How to obtain coverage under Construction General Permit: Right Ans - 1.
Submit a Notice of Intent
2. Preparation of the Comprehensive Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(C-SWPPP)
Secondary Permittee Right Ans - Conducts land disturbing activity limited
to an individual lot or group of lots. This is Ryan Homes
Contractors Right Ans - Employed by the primary or secondary permittees.
Before starting work, they must participate in pre-construction conference
and complete Pre-Construction Conference Certification Form
As well as a Contractor Certification Form
Lending Institution Right Ans - If a bank or government entity takes over a
site due to forclosure, they become responsible for site discharge
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans Right Ans - SWPPP is a site specific
document that:
- identifies sources of stormwater pollution
- describes control measure to reduce pollutants in site discharge
- identifies procedures for the operator to implement to comply with CGP
Comprehensive SWPPP vs. On-Site SWPPP Right Ans - Comprehensive:
includes calculations
On-Site: includes certification forms and records/logs.
