A stabilized construction entrance reduces sediment trackout from construction vehicles leaving the site.

Answer Options
A
Reduce sediment tracking from the site onto public roads
B
The site crew should increase trench depth
C
The site crew should replace utility locates
D
Serve as a final survey benchmark

Why This Is the Correct Answer

A stabilized construction entrance reduces sediment trackout from construction vehicles leaving the site.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: The site crew should increase trench depth

In site construction, Increase trench depth is the wrong selection for Stabilized entrance purpose: it answers the Stabilized entrance purpose prompt with the wrong practical move.

Option C: The site crew should replace utility locates

The trap in C is Replace utility locates. That selection is wrong because it removes the controlling Stabilized entrance purpose requirement instead of meeting it.

Option D: Serve as a final survey benchmark

Choice D gives Serve as a final survey benchmark. Its specific error: the choice would not get the project to Reduce sediment tracking from the site onto public roads, which is the Stabilized entrance purpose result verified by the source.

Memory Technique

Link stabilized entrance purpose to its book condition; a different condition means a different answer than Reduce sediment tracking from the site onto public roads.

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 A stabilized construction entrance reduces sediment trackout from construction vehicles leaving the site.
