North Carolina S665 amends the state's General Statutes to reform permitting for upland basins, which are marinas designed to accommodate more than ten vessels. The bill establishes criteria for approving upland basin projects, including buffer zones, compliance with specific use standards, and avoidance of significant adverse impacts on coastal wetlands. It also sets conditions for the use of innovative technology and financial assurance for long-term operation and maintenance.
