A Comprehensive Master Plan differs from a Zoning Ordinance in which ways? correct answersA
Comprehensive Master Plan offers guidance for future development, whereas the Zoning Ordinance
does not
The Zoning Ordinance is a legally binding document used to regulate growth, whereas the
Comprehensive Master Plan is not
Channel correct answersthe portion of the floodplain where a stream/river flows under normal
conditions.
Floodway correct answersthe portion of the floodplain that is used to convey floodwaters during a 100-
year flood.
Flood fringe correct answersthe portion of the floodplain outside the floodway that does not convey
floodwaters and usually contains slow-moving or standing water.
Time of concentration correct answersThe amount of time needed for water to flow from the most
remote point in a watershed to the watershed outlet
site inventory and analysis correct answersrelationship between proposed site uses and existing site
resources
Concept plans correct answersConcept plans organize the project's proposed elements approximately
where they are to be located on the site, and they tend to identify "Open space," "Circulation," and
"Activity zones/development pods
tools for a project manager correct answersproject planning, scheduling and quality control, task
management, budgeting and establishing project objectives and project management goals.
,work breakdown structure (WBS) correct answersThe WBS establishes a hierarchy of tasks that illustrates
the relationship between various tasks and shows certain (smaller scope) tasks as components of other
(higher-level) tasks.
The WBS should be made as simple and straightforward as possible to manage the project in question.
The WBS should relate to the contractual requirements specific to the project in question and be able to
accurately track project financials.
The WBS should be able to be accessed by the entire project team, as various support staff may need to
access the document for a variety of reasons, including tracking project budgets and billing.
Bar or Gantt-type chart correct answersBar or Gantt-type chart schedules are among the most simple
and easy to understand ways of formatting a project schedule. Because of this, they can be created with
basic and easily available software. Designers will frequently utilize this type of schedule on small to
medium-size projects, given that they will not need to track a large number of deliverables, deadlines,
etc.
Sustainable site planning promotes correct answersSustainable site planning provides numerous benefits
to a project that take into account social, economic and environmental issues.
- Increasing pervious surface area
- On-site stormwater management
- Public safety
- Increased property values
The ultimate objective of the inventory and analysis process correct answersEnsure compatibility
between proposed land use and existing site resources
Which of the following factors is generally considered the most important factor when siting a
development correct answersTopography influences a wide variety of critical issues, including grading,
density, construction costs and the location of roads and other infrastructure
,Erosion control correct answersReducing impervious surfaces and effective watershed management
would reduce aggradation, the filling in of stream channels with sediment.
drainage wind correct answersa wind that blows from a higher elevation to a lower elevation
Sediment Control correct answersonce erosion happens, keeping sediment on site
Aggradation correct answersThe progressive accumulation of sediment along or within a stream.
chlorotic plant correct answersa plant that is suffering from chlorosis. Chlorosis is a condition typically
caused by iron deficiency and is typically manifested by yellowed leaves with green veins. Overwatering
and a lack of aeration are typically the cause of chlorosis.
Zoning ordinances correct answersZoning ordinances typically address issues related to land use and
density. Issues such as building setbacks and heights, minimum lot size and permitted land uses are
covered in a zoning ordinance
A slope inventory map correct answersA slope inventory map would catalogue the slopes on a site but
offer no analysis related to those slopes, such as acceptable uses for each slope class. Slope aspect could
be inferred from the data that appears on a slope inventory map.
Total maximum daily load (TMDL) correct answersTotal maximum daily load (TMDL) is the calculation of
the maximum amount of a pollutant allowed to enter a waterbody so that the waterbody will meet and
continue to meet water quality standards for that particular pollutant.
A TMDL determines a pollutant reduction target and allocates load reductions necessary to the source(s)
of the pollutant.
symptoms of compacted soils correct answersCompacted soils generally have poor aeration and
experience reduced infiltration. This occurs because the void space between soil particles has been
greatly reduced or eliminated, leaving little room for oxygen and water molecules.
, Project Programming correct answersA project program outlines the personal, political, financial and
social components of a project and will always include:
1. A list of goals and objectives
2. Elements to be included in the design
3. Special requirements for the design to fulfill.
variables that directly influence the creation of a project development program correct answersThe size
of a project site and its environmental features, along with other macro-scale issues such as proposed
site requirements, directly influence the creation of a project development program

greenfield site correct answersA "greenfield site" is a term used to describe any land that is undeveloped
or is used for agricultural purposes.
Greenfield sites are generally considered the least expensive type of site to develop primarily because
they do not require extensive demolition or remediation.
Wetlands correct answersWetlands are defined by their hydrology, soils and vegetation.
LIDAR correct answersLIDAR is an imaging technology often used for aerial site surveys, and LIDAR
sensors can ''see'' through vegetation to detect topography and can provide more complete and
accurate topographic information than aerial photography and at a lower cost and within a shorter
period than a field survey.
Infrared Aerial correct answers"Infrared Aerial" is typically used to measure the growth of vegetation
over time
