Instead it recommends that award of state grants and loaas for capital improvements to accommodate growth be tied to effective imple mentation of local land use plans. Its more than 150 recommenda tions range from improving non point source pollution control efforts to a massive public education effort for local officials and coastal resi dents. fisheries habitat and water supply protection and encouraging expansion of nature-based tourism opportunities. The Coastal Futures Committee will continue amending and polish ing the report at its August meeting. Its final package of recommenda tions will be presented to Gov. James B. Hunt during the national Innovations in Coastal Management conference in Wilmington Sept. 7-9. The 15 -member panel, chaired by former congressman and federal judge Richardson Preyer Sr.. has emphasized throughout a series of public meetings and hearings over the past year its aim of balancing economic and environmental con cerns regarding the coast. Eugene Tomlinson of Southport, a coastal engineer and chairman of the N.C. Coastal Resources Commission, is the only Brunswick County repre sentative on the committee. The draft report, still undergoing revision, contains land use and growth management, the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) regulatory program, land acquisition and management of public trust ar eas. the C AMA organization, coastal water quality, protection of natural heritage and socioeconomic sec tions. Education of local officials and the public arc a key clement of the recommendations. The land use and growth manage ment section proposes educating lo cal officials to look at land-use plans as a means of recognizing factors that limit growth and planning ac cordingly, and educating the public on the possibilities of the planning process and their opportunities to in fluence the content and use of the plans. Also recommended is a curricu lum that would offer environmental education to all students. To strengthen the state-local CA MA partnership, the committee rec ommends the state improve the as sistance provided to local govern ments preparing plans, providing cach with a standard package of technical and background data; re vise planning guidelines to help communities better address the is sues of cumulative and secondary impacts of growth. The panel advocates expanded public involvement of resident and non-resident property owners throughout the land use planning process, not simply the single public hearing now required, and more in volvement by elected public offi cials. To improve implementation of lo cal land use plans, the panel recom mends amending CAMA to require that local governments submit an implementation package with each land use plan update, including at a minimum a zoning ordinance, subdi vision ordinance and capital im provement plan and budget, and to require that all local land use ordi nances be consistent with the ap proved local CAMA plan. Further, it recommends that eligi bility for growth-related state and federal grants, including Powell Bill road money, should be tied to the CRC's approval of an adequate local plan implementation program. To improve coordination of plan ning. it recommends that all CAMA plans within a single county? coun ty and town ? be updated at the same time, with intergovernmental coordination in addressing issues that impact more than a single local government. It also advocates re gional planning cooperation. The section on the CAMA regula tory program proposes the General Assembly cnact a requirement that a disclosure of known coastal hazards, such as erosion rates and flood lev els, and regulatory requirements be made to all purchasers of ocean front property by the seller, broker or de veloper on a simple form provided by the state. Also proposed is dedicating civil fines collected for CAMA violations to an environmental education pro gram to reduce future violations. The committee recommends lim iting special orders of consent, which allow sewage treatment plants to exceed effluent limits until treatment systems can be upgraded, and pursuit of central sewer collec tion by local governments as a first alternative to septic systems in areas with poor soils. It also recommends protection of water supply sources and of fisheries habitat. It also recommends changes in best management practices for agri culture and forestry, both presently excluded from CAMA to better control nonpoint source pollution, and strengthening of rules governing land disturbing activities associated with development. It does not specifically address the impact of mining on coastal water and land re sources. The draft plan also advocates more action by state and local gov ernments to improve public beach and estuarine access, and more fund ing by the state to continue the coastal reserve program and to un derwrite acquisition of areas for public trust with consideration given to user-generated revenue, such as bridge tolls or property tax sur charges, to finance these programs. The draft plan advocates reloca tion and retreat over hardening of the beach as the best long-term pro tection of beaches, dunes, lives and property, and recommends legisla tion to require relocation or demoli tion of threatened or uninhabitable properties. It also recommends that North Carolina follow the example of the federal government and Florida and prohibit use of state funds for devel opment of infrastructure on undevel oped barrier islands. tawiv FlNANCiAl SECUHITV Put Nationwide^ life insurance "on your side."
