Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Practice Test

What document contains the permit number for a stormwater management project?

1. The permit authorization letter

2. The inspection report form

3. The spill report form

4. The weekly meeting form

The correct answer is: The permit authorization letter

The permit authorization letter is the document that contains the permit number for a stormwater management project. This letter is issued by the regulatory agency and serves as formal communication that grants permission to proceed with the project under specific conditions and requirements outlined in the permit. The inclusion of the permit number is critical as it links the project to its compliance obligations and allows for tracking and enforcement by the agency. The inspection report form, spill report form, and weekly meeting form serve different purposes. The inspection report records findings from site inspections related to compliance with the stormwater management plan. The spill report form is used to document incidents involving spills, detailing their nature and response actions taken. The weekly meeting form typically summarizes discussions about project progress and issues, which does not include regulatory information such as permit numbers. Each of these documents plays an important role in overall project management and compliance, but they do not contain the permit number specifically.
