Abstract:
The North Carolina Division of Water Resources is reassessing its regulation of groundwater and surface water withdrawals in Capacity Use Area #1, a multicounty area centered around Beaufort County. The Division is conducting an aquifer framework analysis and modeling groundwater flow in the Castle Hayne Aquifer as a basis for reviewing future groundwater withdrawal permit applications and assessing whether continued regulation of withdrawals in the area is necessary.

Abstract:
The United States Geological Survey, the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, and local governments in North Carolina’s Coastal Plain area are cooperating on a study of the hydrology and groundwater resource potential of the Castle Hayne Aquifer in Eastern North Carolina. The study will produce a series of hydrogeologic maps that will be useful in planning and constructing water wells and test holes.

Abstract:
On February 11, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission approved holding public hearings on proposed changes to the rules that govern cleanup of contaminated groundwater. The proposed amendments represent a significant change from present practice since they would not always require the application of best available technology to restore groundwater to the level of the standard.

Abstract:
In February, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission will consider a request to hold public hearings on proposed revisions of the state’s groundwater classifications and standards. Revisions to the rules would essentially ease clean-up requirements and abandon the state’s nondegradation policy.

Abstract:
North Carolina’s dispersed population pattern makes groundwater particularly important as a water supply for those who live far from city water systems. The Coastal Plain has several major aquifers which provide large and predictable supplies of quality groundwater. In the Piedmont and Mountain regions, the availability of groundwater is generally more limited and is highly variable.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission directed the Division of Water Resources to conduct a Capacity Use Investigation of the area in and around Bladen County, and to provide a report and recommendations. Dewatering of the Upper Cape Fear Aquifer underlying the area appears to be imminent, and without declaring a Capacity Use Area, the Commission has no authority to limit groundwater withdrawals from the aquifer.

Abstract:
Groundwater in North Carolina has traditionally remained a pure source of drinking water, capable of human consumption without the treatment required of surface water. However, groundwater is being threatened by pollution, hazardous materials, and waste. The state is now in need of a comprehensive monitoring program and more stringent regulations.

Abstract:
Gaston County is a rapidly growing county in the southwestern Piedmont region of North Carolina, and concern for the quality of natural resources has steadily increased. The North Carolina State University Water Quality Group is assessing surface water, groundwater, and air quality of the county. Gaston County commissioners are using the assessment to evaluate the impacts of locating new industry and development in the area.
