What term is used for land areas affected by construction that may require revisions to coverage?

• A. Disturbed acreage
• B. Gross acreage
• C. Net acreage
• D. Permitted acreage

Answer: (A)

Disturbed acreage refers to the land areas that are actually affected by construction activities. These are the portions where soil disturbance, grading, or other modifications occur, and they directly influence the scope of stormwater coverage and any need to revise the permit or SWPPP. As disturbance changes—expands or contracts—the coverage description and controls must be updated to reflect the new acreage. The other terms describe whole or different portions of land (gross acreage is total land, net acreage is the portion subject to coverage after exclusions, and permitted acreage is what the permit allows to be disturbed) and don’t capture the concept of areas actually impacted by construction that may require changes to coverage.
