The Lincoln County Natural Resources Department administers the Soil Erosion and
Sediment Control Program within the unincorporated areas of Lincoln County
excluding the extraterritorial jurisdictional (ETJ) area. The program
operates under the Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District and the Land
Quality Section of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources
which enforces the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act
of 1973 on a statewide basis. Lincoln County Natural Resources Department
will regulate certain land-disturbing activities as described in the
ordinance to control accelerated erosion and sedimentation in order to
prevent the pollution of watercourses and other public and private property
by sedimentation. Sediment is one of the most common and harmful pollutants
in Lincoln County watercourses and wetlands. Our goal is to reduce the
environmental impact of erosion and sedimentation for the protection,
welfare and safety of Lincoln County citizens and the environment that we
live.
