Option C: The site crew should remove all stormwater controls permanently
Choice C (Remove all stormwater controls permanently.) is rejected because the option does not produce the required Inlet protection flooding outcome, Modify or maintain the BMP so sediment is controlled without creating unsafe flooding.
Option D: Pump muddy water directly to the creek, leaving inlet protection flooding unverified
