Delaware Code Title 7. Conservation § 4404. Review of standards

(a) Within 6 months of the adoption of minimum standards, the 3 county governments and all municipal governments as appropriate shall review and prepare comments regarding their individual codes and ordinances to determine if they are consistent with the minimum standards.  Such review and comments shall identify areas where existing requirements meet or exceed these recommendations and standards, do not comply with the standards or are functionally equivalent.

(b) The review and comments from local governments will also identify areas where implementation of these standards would represent a hardship to the local government, and what impediments to adoption of these standards have been identified.  The Committee shall develop the framework for conducting such a review and Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) shall provide technical assistance to local governments in conducting such analysis when requested.

(c) DNREC shall compile the results of the review, develop a draft report, reconvene the Committee to review the draft report and solicit feedback and deliver the final report to the General Assembly no later than March 15, 2013.
