Session Law 2009-406 - An Act to Extend Certain Government Approvals Affecting the Development of Real Property Within the State

In 2009, North Carolina enacted SL 2009-406 which extends coverage of certain government permits and approvals that are current and valid at any point between Jan. 1, 2008 and Dec. 31, 2010 under Chapter 23, Article 21 of the North Carolina General Statutes.

These extensions apply to permitted facilities regardless of construction status, and apply to permits issued to both government and non-government entities.

BASE to Attend Forum on Sea Level Rise in North Carolina

On January 14th and 15th the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources is hosting a Science Forum on Sea Level Rise in North Carolina. 

The forum will be the vehicle through which the N.C. Coastal resources Commission (CRC) will release what is presumed to be the “finalized” preliminary report on the current and projected rates of sea level rise in North Carolina.  The report will project sea level rise ranges in 25-year intervals through 2100.  The CRC, as well as other DENR agencies can use these metrics as the foundation for policy development and adaptation planning.  This issue is one that your BASE Governmental Affairs staff has been tracking and monitoring for well over a year now.  For a complete overview of the forum click hereclick here.  For a complete overview of the presentations click hereclick here.
