III. Information Item:

1. Update on Readoption of 15A NCAC 13C Rules (Charlotte Jesneck, DWM - SF)

Explanation:  The Periodic Review of Existing Rules report for 15A NCAC 13C became effective June 24, 2017.  Section .0100 Notice and Section .0200 Prioritization were determined to be necessary without substantive public interest effective June 24, 2017.  Section .0300 Voluntary Remedial Action Oversight by Registered Environmental Consultants was determined to be necessary with substantive public interest and must be readopted by a deadline established by the RRC.  Due to the public interest in the .0300 rules, the Division has been conducting surveys and gathering input from affected parties.  The Division plans to work on proposed revisions to these rules with interested stakeholders while concurrently drafting new rules for pre-regulatory landfills.  Based on the level of interest, the Division intends to propose to the RRC for approval a readoption deadline of March 31, 2021.
