Statutes, Rules & Policies

General Statutes are an act of the legislature that authorize the creation of an environmental program (DEQ) and Environmental Management Commission (EMC). The EMC is directed to create the North Carolina Administrative Code (aka rules). Session laws are a collection of statutes enacted by a legislature during a single session of that legislature and may modify existing statutes. Policies and guidance documents are created to assist the public and regulated entities. Repealed rules are used only for determining the setbacks of previously permitted treatment/storage/disposal facilities. Facility setbacks are applied based on when the facility was originally permitted or modified.
