Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Practice Test

What document must be completed when final stabilization of a site is complete?

1. The final stabilization report

2. The NOT

3. The weekly meeting form

4. The subcontractors certification form

The correct answer is: The NOT

The Notice of Termination (NOT) is the correct document to complete when final stabilization of a site is achieved. This document signifies that the construction site has met all required conditions for termination of coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater program. When a site is stabilized, it means that all construction activities have ceased and the site has been adequately restored to minimize erosion and sediment runoff. Completing the NOT is crucial to notify the regulatory authority that the site no longer poses a risk of stormwater pollution. It officially releases the operator from the requirements of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), reflecting compliance with the Clean Water Act. Other options, while potentially relevant in different contexts, do not serve the same purpose as the NOT. The final stabilization report could be beneficial for record-keeping or internal documentation, but it does not fulfill the regulatory requirements to terminate coverage. The weekly meeting form and subcontractors certification form serve different operational purposes and are not tied directly to the process of obtaining clearance from stormwater management responsibilities. Therefore, the NOT accurately addresses the necessary procedure following site stabilization.
