When might the timing for installing BMPs need to be adjusted?

  1. Before the construction begins

  2. After consulting the project SWPPP designer and receiving approval

  3. Only after land disturbance starts

  4. Whenever convenient for workers

The correct answer is: After consulting the project SWPPP designer and receiving approval

Adjusting the timing for installing Best Management Practices (BMPs) is crucial to ensure their effectiveness in controlling stormwater pollution. Consulting the project SWPPP designer and receiving approval is the best approach because they are knowledgeable about the specific requirements and conditions of the project. They can provide guidance on the optimal timing for BMP installation based on factors such as the site's characteristics, potential weather conditions, and the overall project schedule. This proactive approach allows for adjustments that can enhance the effectiveness of BMPs, ensuring they are in place before storm events or site disturbances that could lead to pollution. It also aligns with best practices for project planning and environmental stewardship, emphasizing the importance of expert input and adherence to the approved SWPPP.
