Bill summary

House amendment to the 1st edition makes the following changes. Amends GS 143-215.27 to clarify that nothing in new GS 143-215.27(e) which prohibits the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) from withholding the approval of an application for repair or alteration of a phased compliance eligible dam only because the proposed repair or alteration will not bring the dam into full compliance with the Dam Safety Law of 1967 (Law) and related implementation rules under certain circumstances, will be construed to restrict DEQ's authority to approve applications to repair or modify dams that do not meet the criteria of a phased compliance eligible dam.
