Question 3

What is the significance of a 'Notice of Termination' (NOT) in SWPPP management?

Question 4

Which of the following changes to a construction project would NOT typically require a SWPPP amendment?

Accepted Answer

Management of construction materials, waste, and spill prevention on-site

Good housekeeping provisions in a SWPPP address storage, handling, and disposal of construction materials and wastes to prevent pollutants from reaching storm water.
