    Senate committee substitute to the 1st edition makes the following changes. 

    Revises the provisions of proposed GS 113A-52.01(b), now more specifically requiring waters that have been classified as trout waters by the Environmental Management Commission to have an undisturbed, vegetated buffer zone 25-feet wide where agricultural related land-disturbing activities defined under GS 113A-52.01(a)(1) are prohibited (previously required such activities that are located adjacent to classified trout waters to have an undisturbed, vegetated buffer zone 25 feet wide; did not explicitly prohibit the activities described in subdivision (a)(1) in the buffer zone).

    Amends GS 113A-52.01 to add new subsection (b), requiring a 25-foot undisturbed, vegetated buffer zone between waters classified as trout waters by the Environmental Management Commission and any agricultural related land-disturbing activities as defined GS 113A-52.01(a). Allows the Commission to approve plans within this 25-foot buffer when the disturbance would be temporary and the extent of the disturbance would be minimal. Makes a corresponding change to subsection (a) of that section. 

    Effective and applies to activities initiated on or after January 1, 2024.
