SECTION VII DEFINITIONS 1) Act or "the Act'' or C WA - The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. 2) Best Management Practices (BMPs) - Schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of waters of the United States. BMPs also include treatment requirements, operation procedures, and management practices to control site runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or waste disposal, or drainage from raw material storage. 3) Bypass - The intentional diversion of stormmwater from any portion of a stormwater control facility. 4) Control Measures - Refers to any BMP or other structural or non-structural practices and procedures used to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants including practices to control erosion and sedimentation. 5) Director - The Director of the Division of Water Quality. 6) Division - The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, and Natural Resources. 7) EMC - The North Carolina Environmental Management Corrunission. 8) Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan - A plan developed in compliance with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 to prevent the erosion and deposition of sediment and other materials into the waters of the State from construction or other land - disturbing activities that disturb one or more acres of land. Each plan must be approved by the NC Sedimentation Control Commission or a program delegated by the Commission to a local government. 9) Ground cover - Any vegetative growth or other material which, when applied to the soil surface, renders the soil surface stable against accelerated erosion. 10) Normal Business Hours - These are generally considered to be between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., or when workers are normally present on the construction site. Weekends and federal holidays are not considered normal business hours unless construction activities are taking place on the site during those times. 11) Pennitting Authority -The permitting authority is the agency that issues the permit. The Division of Water Quality is the delegated NPDES permitting authority and issues this permit. However, some erosion and sedimentation control activities are perfonned by Division of Land Resources or the locally -delegated programs. Other activities may be shared by the two divisions and the local programs. The Land Quality Section of the Division of Land Resources and the Surface Water Protection Section of the Division of Water Quality maintain a Memorandum of Understanding that specifies specific roles of the two divisions and the local programs and will be used to assign specific control and oversight activities between the agencies. 12) Permanently Cease - When all or part of the land disturbing activity is complete and no additional alteration or disturbance of the land surface is planned prior to final stabilization. 13) Permanent Stabilization - When all soil disturbing activity is completed and exposed soils have been stabilized with a vegetative cover with a density of at least 80% or covered with a structural stabilization method. Permanent perennial vegetation may include the use of sod, shrubs and ground cover plants mixed with mulching, aggregate or other landscaping techniques. Strichiral methods include concrete, asphalt, retaining wall or other stabilization techniques.
