The person in charge of the utility company, municipality, or other agency that owns or operates the ____ may also serve as the LRP.

• A. LUP
• B. LRP
• C. GP
• D. BMP

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that the Legal Responsible Person (LRP) is the individual who has the authority to ensure the SWPPP is implemented and the permit requirements are met. When a utility company, municipality, or similar agency owns or operates a facility or unit (the LUP), the person in charge of that agency already holds the accountability and decision-making power needed to oversee the SWPPP. That person can serve as the LRP because they can authorize actions, allocate resources, and ensure compliance across the organization for the owned or operated facility. The other terms refer to the documents or practices themselves, not to a person who can bear the responsibility, so they don’t fit as the LRP.
