development activity at this site that would be subject to the stormwater requirements as provided for in Title 15A
NCAC 02H 1000 Because the classification of Foster Creek is WSII Trout HQW these activities are subject to
Title 15A NCAC 02B 0104 Based on the application review the proposed activities listed below meet the
requirements of the Title 15A NCAC 02B 0104

3 Outlet protection with rip rap
This exemption applies only to the State Stormwater Management Permit for the currently proposed

02H 1000 or if the proposed activities differ in any manner from what is shown on the plans on file with the
Division you must submit the project for review of the applicability to the stormwater management rules If you
