Cape Fear Interbasin Transfers Moratorium/Environmental Management Commission Interbasin Transfers Reductions.

Summary

The bill stops any new or increased surface water transfers out of the Cape Fear River Basin upstream of Lock and Dam #2 until June 1, 2030, while allowing existing transfers to continue unchanged. It directs the UNC‑Chapel Hill Collaboratory to assess the basin’s reliable water yield, economic equity, and environmental impacts, and it expands the Environmental Management Commission’s power to limit withdrawals and pollutant discharges statewide. The goal is to protect water supplies and guide future water‑use policy.
