Amends GS 153A-18 (Uncertain or disputed boundary).

Provides that if the requesting counties have not ratified a survey plat submitted by NCGS within one year of receiving the map survey plat, the plat becomes conclusive as to the location of the boundary, and will be recorded with the register of deeds of each affected county, and the Secretary of State's office. Requires the chief of the North Carolina Geodetic Survey to notify affected parties in writing of that action. Requires counties establishing a boundary between them to define the boundaries by natural monuments. The use of base maps prepared from orthophotography may be used if the natural monuments are visible, which base maps show the monuments of the National Geodetic Survey and North Carolina Coordinate System. Requires the orthophotography to be prepared in compliance with the State's adopted orthophotography standard. Makes conforming changes. Effective when the act becomes law.
Amends GS 113A-212 to require maps, drawings, or documents showing protected mountain ridges to be filed with the office of the North Carolina Geodetic Survey (currently, Secretary of Environmental Quality's office). Effective when the act becomes law.
