Abstract:
A new wastewater treatment plant that will serve Cary, Apex, Morrisville, and Holly Springs will be built in New Hill near the town’s historic district. Many of the residents of New Hill won’t be able to use the plant and will have to continue to run on septic systems. The town of New Hill is primarily African-American and the residents closest the plant are majority retirees and elderly. Residents of New Hill express their frustration and discuss their battle against the construction of the plant.

Abstract:
In March the Environmental Management Commission ruled that municipalities and industrial operations which discharge treated wastewater into Falls and Jordan Lakes must reduce phosphorus levels by 1990. Falls and Jordan Lakes were declared nutrient-sensitive in 1983, and stringent regulations were imposed to control the growth of algae in the lakes. A lower phosphorus standard will make it more feasible to employ biological, rather than chemical, methods to remove phosphorus.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission is considering recommendations to declare the entire Neuse River basin as a nutrient-sensitive watershed. The recommendation is aimed at combatting the causes of algae infestations in the lower Neuse River and reducing nutrient loading of the Pamlico Sound. The nutrient-sensitive designation would enable limits to be imposed on the amount of phosphorus in wastewater discharges into the watershed.

Abstract:
In North Carolina, where sanitary sewers are separate from sewers that carry stormwater, wastewater treatment capacity has not been a priority issue because only extreme rainfall events might threaten treatment capacity. A proposed Environmental Protection Agency policy would allow wastewater blending of primary and secondary treatments as long as permit limits are met. North Carolina does not currently have a blending policy, but may consider a policy that would recognize varying circumstances statewide.

Abstract:
On February 6, 1989, the Environmental Protection Agency published a proposal to regulate disposal of wastewater treatment plant sludges. According to Dale Crisp, Assistant Public Utilities Director for the City of Raleigh, the proposal might require a reduction in sludge loading rates, changes in the manner sludge is applied, and changes in cover crops grown or harvested at Raleigh’s Neuse River wastewater treatment plant land application site.

Abstract:
During the period of July 2000 to June 2001, the City of Raleigh reported sixty-six sewer line blockages that resulted in sewage spills of one-thousand gallons or more. More than half of these blockages were caused by the buildup of fats, oils, and greases (FOG) in the sewer line. Although managers have incentive to act in the form of new requirements under the State’s Clean Water Act of 1999, they are having difficulty designing programs that are successful at preventing grease blockages.

Abstract:
A two-year research project sponsored by the Water Resources Research Institute is aimed at developing a procedure for identifying toxic chemicals in effluent from municipal waste water treatment plants. Researchers hope to establish a standard procedure which can be widely used for wastewater discharge monitoring and control.

Abstract:
The wetlands at UNC’s Bingham Facility have been polluted. The facility is facing many violations after storage ponds leaked, pipes broke, and hazardous chemicals were detected in the wastewater treatement system. Neighbors notified regulators of their concerns and UNC appears to have built their wastewater system over wetlands without state and federal permits. The violations will carry a fine if UNC does not offer an explanation and a plan to restore the wetlands or if they do not receive a permit allowing them to ignore the policies.

Abstract:
According to the Greenville Utilities Commission, people flush some weird things down their toilets and let strange things go down the drain. Jason Manning, the wastewater treatment plant superintendent, attributes this to the perspective of the average citizen. To maintain the city’s plumbing, pump stations are cleaned and de-clogged every morning.

Abstract:
A survey of state regulatory agencies was conducted in 1983 by the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering. The survey showed a trend toward increased use of seasonal discharge standards by state water pollution control agencies, and that they planned to use some degree of flexibility in standards for municipal and industrial discharges.

Abstract:
North Carolina communities are acting to protect the streams and reservoirs they rely on for drinking water by requesting reclassification of their water supplies under the North Carolina Water Supply Protection Program. The new system has three water supply classes defined by the amount and types of permitted wastewater discharges and requirements for nonpoint source controls in the watershed. Various departments of State government are offering technical assistance, and land use and economic information.
