**Important Changes to the Nutrient Offset Option Under Neuse, Tar-Pamlico and Jordan Nutrient Strategies
Effective Sept. 1, 2010**
New rules will go into effect Sept. 1, 2010, governing the use of offset payments in Neuse, Tar-Pamlico and Jordan watersheds, as well as under any future nutrient strategy. The N.C. Ecosystem Enhancement Program and N.C. Division of Water Quality have been working with affected parties and the N.C. Environmental Management Commission to develop the rules required by the General Assembly under Session Law 2007-438 et seq. On July 15, 2010, the EMC adopted two rules under Title 15A of NCAC, 2B .0240 and 2B .0274. On Aug. 19, 2010, the N.C. Rules Review Commission approved them. The September 1 effective date satisfies a timeframe mandated under SL 2009-484.
