B) industrial activities.

Per EPA’s NPDES stormwater program website, “The NPDES stormwater program regulates some stormwater discharges from three potential sources: municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s), construction activities, and industrial activities. Operators of these sources might be required to obtain an NPDES permit before they can discharge stormwater. This permitting mechanism is designed to prevent stormwater runoff from washing harmful pollutants into local surface waters.”

2. A) best management practices

(BMPs).

Per FDEP’s NPDES stormwater program website, “Stormwater runoff is generated from rain events that flow over land or impervious surfaces, such as paved streets, parking lots, and building rooftops, and does not soak into the ground. The runoff picks up pollutants, like trash, chemicals, oils, and dirt/sediment, that can harm our rivers, streams, and lakes. To protect these resources, municipalities, construction and industries activities, and others use stormwater controls, known as best management practices (BMPs), to manage their runoff. The implementation of these practices, which include BMP design, performance, and adaptive management requirements, prevent pollution by controlling it at its source.”

3. A) One acre

Per FDEP’s NPDES stormwater program construction activities website, “Coverage under the construction generic permit (CGP) is required for discharges from construction activities that: • Disturb at least one or more acres of land or disturb less than one acre of land but are part of a common plan of development or sale; and • Discharge stormwater to surface waters of the state or to surface waters of the state through a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4).”

4. D) Stormwater pollution

prevention plan (SWPPP)

Per FDEP’s NPDES stormwater program construction activities website, “A generic permit is a general permit issued by FDEP under the authority of Section 403.0885, Florida Statutes (F.S.), which is the provision authorizing the state to implement the NPDES program. • A CGP notice of intent (NOI) (FDEP Form 62621.300(4)(b)) must be submitted online using interactive notice of intent (iNOI) or by paper copy to the NPDES Stormwater Notices Center to obtain permit coverage. • A stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) must be developed and implemented to be in compliance with the permit. See the

CGP, as well as SWPPP guidance, for details.”

5. C) Five years

Per FAC 62-624.420(1), Reapplication Procedures for Individual MS4 Permits, “MS4 permits shall be effective for a fixed term not to exceed five years. If the permittee wishes to continue an activity regulated by an MS4 permit after the expiration date of the permit, the permittee must apply for and obtain a new permit. Permittees are encouraged to consult with the department before the reapplication process begins so that a mutually acceptable municipal stormwater program is developed prior to reapplication.” 6. C) Multisector general permit

(MSGP)

Per FDEP’s stormwater program industrial activities website, “A generic permit is a general permit issued by FDEP under the authority of Section 403.0885, Florida Statutes (F.S.), which is the provision authorizing the state to implement the NPDES program. In October 2000, Florida adopted under Rule 62-621.300(5)(a), F.A.C., the federal stormwater multisector general permit for industrial activities. . . and operates the permit as the state of Florida multisector generic permit for stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity (MSGP).”

7. B) all industrial materials and

activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter.

Per FAC 62-620.100(2)(o), Scope/Applicabiliity/ References, “Conditional exclusion for “no exposure” of industrial activities and materials to stormwater. Discharges composed entirely of stormwater are not stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity if there is “no exposure” of industrial materials and activities to precipitation and/or runoff, and the discharger satisfies the conditions in subparagraphs (o)1. through (o)3., of this rule. “No exposure” means that all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter to prevent exposure to precipitation and/or runoff.”

8. D) Structural and nonstructural

Per EPA’s “Developing Your Stormwater Prevention Plan: A Guide for Construction Sites,” Chapter 1, Section C. How Can Construction Site Operators Prevent Stormwater Pollution? “BMPs can be divided into two categories: structural and nonstructural BMPs. Structural BMPs include silt fences, sedimentation ponds, erosion control blankets, and temporary or permanent seeding, while nonstructural BMPs include picking up trash and debris, sweeping up nearby sidewalks and streets, maintaining equipment, and training site staff on erosion and sediment control practices.”

9. A) erosion control.

Per EPA’s “Developing Your Stormwater Prevention Plan: A Guide for Construction Sites,” Chapter 4: SWPPP Development – Selecting Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs, “Erosion and sediment controls are the structural and nonstructural practices used during the construction process to keep sediment in place (erosion control) and to capture any sediment that is moved by stormwater before it leaves the site (sediment control). Erosion controls—keeping soil where it is—are the heart of any effective SWPPP. Your SWPPP should rely on erosion controls as the primary means of preventing stormwater pollution. Sediment controls provide a necessary second line of defense to properly designed and installed erosion controls.”

10. C) illicit discharge.

Per “Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination A Guidance Manual for Program Development and Technical Assessments,” Chapter 1 The Basics of Illicit Discharges, “Illicit discharges are defined as a storm drain that has measurable flow during dry weather containing pollutants and/or pathogens. A storm drain with measurable flow but containing no pollutants is simply considered a discharge.”
