Which statement best describes sampling activities under CGP?

Which statement best describes sampling activities under CGP?

• A. They must be performed exclusively by a QSP
• B. They must be performed by a QSP or QSD
• C. They must be performed by a QSD
• D. They are not required to be performed by a QSP

Answer: (D)

Sampling activities under CGP aren’t a duty assigned to the QSP. The QSP’s role is to implement and inspect the SWPPP on site, ensuring erosion and sediment controls are in place and functioning, while the QSD develops the SWPPP. If sampling of stormwater is required, it’s typically handled by the permittee or an approved sampler/lab, not inherently by the QSP. So, the statement that sampling does not have to be performed by a QSP best describes how CGP responsibilities are typically allocated.
