Also during the meeting, the commission is to hear proposed amendments to rules on septic tanks seaward of the vegetation line and an inland waters boundary update. Members are also expected to consider approving fiscal analyses for expanded exemption for beach mats and land use plan enforceable policies.
The commission establishes policies for the North Carolina Coastal Management Program and adopts rules for both Coastal Area Management Act, or CAMA, and the N.C. Dredge and Fill Act. The commission designates areas of environmental concern, adopts rules and policies for coastal development within those areas, and certifies local land use plans. The Division of Coastal Management supports the commission, implements its rules and issues CAMA permits.
