A storm inlet lacks protection while disturbed soil drains toward it. What is the correction?
Correct Answer
C) Install inlet protection before sediment reaches the storm sewer
Inlet protection should be installed before sediment-laden runoff enters the storm sewer.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Inlet protection should be installed before sediment-laden runoff enters the storm sewer.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: The site crew should wait for paving
Choice A gives Wait for paving. Its specific error: it tries to bypass the Storm inlet missing protection checkpoint.
Option B: Base the storm inlet missing protection response on pump sediment downstream
Choice B (Pump sediment downstream) is rejected because it answers the Storm inlet missing protection prompt with the wrong practical move.
Option D: The site crew should remove the inlet
The trap in D is Remove the inlet. That selection is wrong because the choice would not get the project to Install inlet protection before sediment reaches the storm sewer, which is the Storm inlet missing protection result verified by the source; Unprotected storm inlets receiving sediment-laden runoff need inlet protection.
Memory Technique
Remember storm inlet missing protection by its jobsite consequence: the correct move points to Install inlet protection before sediment reaches the storm sewer.
Reference Hint
Open Developing Your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, EPA 833-R-06-004, 2007; use the index entry or section for "EPA 833-R-06-004 - erosion and sediment controls" to confirm that Inlet protection should be installed before sediment-laden runoff enters the storm sewer.
