A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT THE NORTH CAROLINA SEDIMENTATION CONTROL COMMISSION SHALL CHARGE A FILING FEE FOR PROCESSING AN EROSION CONTROL PLAN.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 113A-54 is amended by adding a new subsection to read:
"( g)	The Commission shall charge a filing fee for the processing and review of an erosion control plan submitted in accordance with this Article.  Moneys collected pursuant to this subsection shall be used to: (i) eliminate, insofar as possible, any backlog of erosion control plans awaiting agency review and action; (ii) decrease the length of the processing period for an erosion control plan; and (iii) increase enforcement of the laws, rules, standards, and measures adopted under this Article to protect the environment from pollution by sedimentation."
Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1989, and shall apply to erosion control plans submitted after that date.
