Senate amendment to the 2nd edition makes the following changes.

Adds to the proposed changes to Section 15, SL 2020-18, as amended, to allow the Environmental Management Commission (Commission) to use the Department of Environmental Quality's (Department) watershed modeling for the Neuse River Basin to adopt new transport zones and delivery factors by rule once the Department has completed the watershed modeling. Eliminates the requirement for the Department to provide the Commission a list of qualified professionals from which the Commission can select at least two to validate the completed watershed modeling before the Department can use the modeling to adopt the new transport zones and delivery factors.
