19 (12) "Notice of Intent" means a written notification to the Division that an activity or discharge is intended to be covered by a general permit and takes the place of "application" used with individual permits. (13) "Off -site Stormwater Systems" mean stormwater management systems that are located outside the boundaries of the specific project in question, but designed to control stormwater drainage from that project and other potential development sites. These systems shall designate responsible parties for operation and maintenance and may be owned and operated as a duly licensed utility or by a local government. (14) "On -site Stormwater Systems" mean the systems necessary to control stormwater within an individual development project and located within the project boundaries. (15) "Redevelopment" means any land disturbing activity that does not result in a net increase in built -upon area and that provides greater or equal stormwater control than the previous development (stormwater controls shall not be allowed where otherwise prohibited). (16) "Seasonal High Water Table" means the highest level that groundwater, at atmospheric pressure, reaches in the soil in most years. The seasonal high water table is usually detected by the mottling of the soil that results from mineral leaching. (17) "Sedimentation /Erosion Control Plan" means any plan, amended plan or revision to an approved plan submitted to the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources or delegated authority in accordance with G.S. 113A -57. (18) "Stormwater" is defined in G.S. 143, Article 21. (19) "Stormwater Collection System" means any conduit, pipe, channel, curb or gutter for the primary purpose of transporting (not treating) runoff. A stormwater collection system does not include vegetated swales, swales stabilized with armoring or alternative methods where natural topography or other physical constraints prevents the use of vegetated swales (subject to case -by -case review), curb outlet systems, or pipes used to carry drainage underneath built -upon surfaces that are associated with development controlled by the provisions of Rule .1003(d)(1) in this Section. (20) "10 Year Storm" means the surface runoff resulting from a rainfall of an intensity expected to be equaled or exceeded, on the average, once in 10 years, and of a duration which will produce the maximum peak rate of runoff, for the watershed of interest under average antecedent wetness conditions. (21) "Water Dependent Structures" means a structure for which the use requires access or proximity to or siting within surface waters to fulfill its basic purpose, such as boat ramps, boat houses, docks, and bulkheads. Ancillary facilities such as restaurants, outlets for boat supplies, parking lots and boat storage areas are not water dependent uses.
