SECTION .2400 — GENERAL PERMIT FOR PLACEMENT OF RIPRAP FOR WETLAND PROTECTION IN
ESTUARINE AND PUBLIC TRUST WATERS
15A NCAC 07H .2401 PURPOSE
The general permit for placement riprap for wetland protection in estuarine and public trust waters shall allow the placement
of riprap immediately adjacent to and waterward of wetlands. This permit shall only be applicable where a shoreline is
experiencing erosion in public trust areas and estuarine waters according to authority provided in 15A NCAC 07J .1100 and
according to the rules in this Section. This permit shall not apply to oceanfront shorelines or to waters and shorelines adjacent
to the Ocean Hazard AEC with the exception of those portions of shoreline that feature characteristics of Estuarine Shorelines.
Such features include the presence of wetland vegetation, lower wave energy, and lower erosion rates than in the adjoining
Ocean Erodible Area.

project, if the proposed project meets the requirements of the rules in this Section. If DCM staff finds that the comments are
worthy of more in-depth review, the applicant shall be notified that he must submit an application for a major development
permit.
(d) No work shall begin until an on -site meeting is held with the applicant and appropriate Division of Coastal Management
representative so that the wetland protection structure can be appropriately marked. Written authorization to proceed with the
