Certified Storm Water Operator Practice Exam

Which entity oversees permitted projects to ensure compliance with Part 91?

1. The permittee

2. The Part 91 agency

3. The environmental consultant

4. The certified storm water operator

The correct answer is: The Part 91 agency

The entity responsible for overseeing permitted projects to ensure compliance with Part 91 is the Part 91 agency. This agency has designated authority to enforce the regulations set forth under Part 91, which pertains to water resource management, including stormwater discharge permits. The agency conducts inspections, reviews compliance reports, and has the power to take enforcement actions if necessary to maintain adherence to the established standards. In this context, the permittee refers to the individual or organization who holds the permit and is responsible for following the stipulated regulations; however, they do not oversee compliance. The environmental consultant provides expertise and advice to help ensure that projects meet regulations, but they do not have the authority to enforce compliance. The certified storm water operator plays a role in managing and implementing stormwater programs but also operates under the regulatory framework established by the Part 91 agency rather than overseeing it.
