Abstract:
North Carolina is widely acknowledged to have one of the nation’s best regulatory programs to prevent environmental damage from erosion and sedimentation leaving construction sites. However, as the state rapidly grows, the program needs to be improved by tighter standards, more aggressive enforcement, more technical assistance, and an infusion of resources. The Sediment Control Commission is reviewing standards and evaluating program needs in preparation for the next legislative session.
