A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL TO ENHANCE AND INCREASE SEDIMENTATION PROTECTION.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 113A-60(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a)	Any local government may submit to the Commission for its approval an erosion and sediment control program for its jurisdiction, and to this end local governments are authorized to adopt ordinances and regulations necessary to establish and enforce erosion and sediment control programs. Local governments are authorized to create or designate agencies or subdivisions of local government to administer and enforce the programs. An ordinance adopted by a local government shall at least meet and may exceed the minimum requirements of this Article and the rules adopted pursuant to this Article, and may require enhanced and increased sedimentation protection by reason of the concurrent construction of two or more projects in the same watershed.  Two or more units of local government are authorized to establish a joint program and to enter into any agreements that are necessary for the proper administration and enforcement of the program. The resolutions establishing any joint program must be duly recorded in the minutes of the governing body of each unit of local government participating in the program, and a certified copy of each resolution must be filed with the Commission."
Section 2.  Section 1 of this act applies to the Town of Chapel Hill only.
Section 3.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
