NEED: On June 25, 1985, the N.C. Sedimentation Control Commission approved a revised Model Local Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance . The revision was necessary to make the Model Ordinance consistent with changes made in the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act and its regulations. The Commission further moved to require all local governments administering such ordinances to revise their documents to reflect said amendments within 180 calendar days . IMPACT: The revised Model Ordinance as approved currently represents the minimum requirements for local ordinance documents. Revisions at the Local level must meet and may exceed those contained in the Model. Revised Local ordinance documents must be received by the staff of the Land Quality Section no later than January 1 , 1986 . Presentation of the proposed amendments at the regular November 26, 1985 public hearing would not allow sufficient time to meet the January 1 deadline. A special public hearing at the Board's regular meeting date of November 4, 1985 is thus proposed. The attached schedule presents a list of actions to be taken to insure submission of the revised ordinance in accordance with the January 1 deadline.
