In addition, the commission shall determine whether any local organization, including, but not limited to, watershed management authorities, conservancy districts, or soil and water conservation districts, are duly organized and authorized to implement the proposed actions in a capacity stress area other than those actions delegated to the Alabama Department of Environmental Management pursuant to Section 9-10B-23.
