NGICP National Green Infrastructure Certification Program
NGICP (NATIONAL GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE CERTIFICATION
PROGRAM) EXAM COVERAGE
The NGICP exam evaluates knowledge of stormwater management
and green infrastructure practices used to reduce runoff and protect
water quality. The exam coverage includes watershed concepts, the
water cycle, infiltration, evapotranspiration, and how precipitation
becomes stormwater runoff. It also assesses understanding of
environmental impacts such as flooding, streambank erosion,
sediment transport, and pollutant runoff into waterways. Additional
areas include green infrastructure methods such as rain gardens,
bioswales, permeable pavement, and vegetation-based systems
designed to absorb and filter stormwater.
,Which of the following describe why it is important to manage
stormwater runoff? Choose 3
o Meet CWA requirements
o Ensure public safety
o Increase the amount of development
o Protect fish and other aquatic life
o Meet CWA requirements
o Ensure public safety
o Protect fish and other aquatic life
,What are the possible impacts of sediment erosion upstream?
Flooding
Stream bank erosion
Sediment clogged lakes
Pollutants in drinking water
, The "what is a watershed" video mentioned many ways to prevent
stormwater runoff. Which of these ways is categorized as a green
infrastructure practice?
Planting grasses
Tiling land less
Being careful of the amount of fertilizer used
Using rain gardens
The correct response is using raingardens. The other options can be
used to prevent stormwater runoff, but are not categorized as a green
infrastructure practice. Instead, they could be used independently or
along with green infrastructure practices.
