Under the CGP, a project's hydromodification requirements are superseded by

• A. A federal guideline
• B. An industry standard
• C. A local SWMP
• D. A state permit

Answer: (C)

Hydromodification controls under the CGP are a federal baseline, but they give way to locally approved requirements when a local Storm Water Management Plan has been established. If a local SWMP with approved hydromodification standards exists, those local standards take precedence for the project, ensuring compliance reflects local watershed conditions. The CGP doesn’t override an approved local plan; federal guidelines are too broad to serve as the governing standard, industry standards aren’t enforceable as permit requirements, and a state permit represents a separate authorization rather than the local plan controlling hydromodification.
