SWM DEQ Exam | Detailed Review Guide
with Exam Questions and Verified
Solutions | Grade A+
‣ Erosion and sediment control plans and stormwater management plans
✓✓SWPPP plans that must be approved
‣ Post-construction ✓✓When the stormwater management plan address
runoff
‣ Volume and velocity of stormwater runoff increases as natural
vegetation is replaced with these surfaces. The increase in stormwater
runoff leads to an increase in pollutants, such as sediment and
phosphorus that are carried to waterways. ✓✓Impervious cover
‣ Target pollutant in the water quality criteria ✓✓Phosphorus
‣ The lower limit of the range of imperviousness that can result in stream
degradation% ✓✓10%
‣ SWM regulation ensures water quantity is considered to protect against
which two destructive forces? ✓✓Channel erosion and flooding
, ‣ This increases after development because of the replacement of
vegetation with impervious surfaces. A larger volume of water will
travel more quickly through a stream channel, potentially causing
erosion and flooding. ✓✓The rate of runoff
‣ A what must be at least as stringent as the Construction GP (9VAC25-
870-106)? ✓✓Locality VSMP
‣ ESC Plan and SWM Plan (9VAC25-870-148) ✓✓Plans a locality's
ordinance must require to be submitted and approved.
‣ No state registration statement; no SWPPP; incomplete SWPPP;
SWPPP not available for review; no approved ESC plan; failure to
install stormwater management BMPs or ESCs; stormwater BMPs or
erosion and sediment controls improperly installed or maintained;
operation deficiencies; failure to conduct required inspections;
incomplete, improper, or missed inspections ✓✓Violations for which a
penalty may be imposed
‣ $32500 ✓✓Maximum penalty a locality can impose under the
stormwater act
‣ Three years from date of project completion or state permit termination
✓✓How long a locality VSMP authority must hold on to a registration
statement
