res an discharges stormwater to surface waters of the State; and
2. Clearing, grading and/or excavation on sites smaller than one acre that are part of a
1 irger cc mmon plan of development or sale, if the common plan of development or
Ede will ultimately disturb one acre or more and discharge stormwater to surface
aters o the State.
This ncludes forest practices (including,but not limited to, class IV conversions)
that e part of a construction activity that will result in the disturbance of one or
more acres, and discharge to surface waters of the State; and
3. Any size construction activity discharging stormwater to waters of the State that
