County takes erosion duty
SPECIAL TO THE R&L
June 17, 2009
The Iredell County Department of Planning and Development will take over responsibility for soil erosion and sedimentation control from the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources (NCDENR) in Troutman and Statesville. This change will become effective July 1.
In 2007, Iredell County began enforcing the State's erosion and sedimentation control regulations for the unincorporated portions of the county. The intent at that time was to establish the program and examine the possibility of incorporating the local municipalities in the future. The county has recently been working with the municipalities to incorporate them in to the county's jurisdiction with respect to this program.
The governing boards of Troutman and Statesville have both passed resolutions to allow the county to take over this responsibility. On May 21, the North Carolina Sedimentation Control Commission (NCSCC) ratified this action.
