Response: Perennial streams are all waters of the state of North Carolina large enough to be indicated by a blue line on the most recent version of the United States Geological Survey 1:24,000 (7.5 minute) topographical maps. The federal term in the NPDES regulatory program most analagous to this definition is “navigable waters”.
