Which of the following is NOT a requirement for CBPA LDAs?

The correct answer is that construction general permit (GP) coverage is not a requirement for Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act (CBPA) Land Disturbance Activities (LDAs). Under the CBPA guidelines, while project proponents must have the necessary approvals and plans to manage erosion and sedimentation and stormwater effectively, obtaining a construction GP coverage specifically is not mandated for every land disturbance activity. This distinguishes it from requirements such as having an approved erosion and sediment control (ESC) plan, which ensures that measures are in place to minimize soil erosion and sediment runoff. Similarly, an approved stormwater management (SWM) plan is essential to address and manage the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff. Local approval is also necessary to legally commence land disturbance, ensuring that local regulatory frameworks are adhered to. Thus, the construction GP coverage is not universally required, allowing projects to proceed under CBPA LDAs with other necessary plans in place.
