Senate committee substitute amends the 1st edition as follows.

Further amends GS 130A-336 to allow improvement permits or authorizations for wastewater system construction that were issued with a wastewater system classification of Type V in accordance with the identified administrative rule by a local health department between January 1, 2007, through January 1, 2019 (was January 1, 2000, through January 1, 2015), which have not been acted on and would have otherwise expired, to remain valid until January 1, 2024, without penalty unless there are changes in hydraulic flows or wastewater characteristics from the original evaluation (previously, did not limit the provision to a specified system classification). Adds new provisions as follows. Authorizes site activities under the improvement permit or the authorization for wastewater system construction begun pursuant to the above provisions to continue until the operation permit is issued. Deems verification of original site conditions by a licensed soil scientist not to be an evaluation and provides for the permit to remain an issuance of the local health department.
