Local Erosion and Sediment Control Programs
Information About the Local Programs
The NC Sedimentation Control Commission may delegate authority to implement the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act (SPCA) to cities and counties that adopt a local qualifying erosion and sediment control ordinance in compliance with North Carolina state requirements. The staff of the delegated Local Programs perform plan reviews and enforce compliance of the SPCA within their jurisdictions.
