A sump pump begins discharging cloudy trench water toward a curb inlet during storm drain work. Which response best protects the project and receiving water?

Correct Answer

A) Route the discharge through approved sediment controls or containment before it reaches the inlet

Dewatering discharge should be managed through the SWPPP controls so sediment is removed before water reaches inlets or receiving waters. Other choices bypass sediment control or create new contamination.

Answer Options
A
Route the discharge through approved sediment controls or containment before it reaches the inlet
B
Keep pumping directly because the water came from rain
C
Add cement to settle the water in the gutter
D
The site crew should wait to address turbidity until after the pipe is installed

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Dewatering discharge should be managed through the SWPPP controls so sediment is removed before water reaches inlets or receiving waters. Other choices bypass sediment control or create new contamination.
