A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROHIBIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF CERTAIN COMPONENTS OF LIQUID ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS WITHIN THE ONE HUNDRED-YEAR FLOODPLAIN.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 143-215.10C(b) reads as rewritten: 
"(b)	An animal waste management system shall be designed, constructed, and operated so that the animal operation served by the animal waste management system does not cause pollution in the waters of the State except as may result because of rainfall from a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm.  No component of a liquid animal waste management system for which a permit is required under this section, other than a land application site, shall be constructed on land that is located within the 100-year floodplain."
Section 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law and applies to any new liquid animal waste management system where construction commences on or after the date this act becomes law and to any expansion of an existing system where construction commences on or after the date this act becomes law.
