Abstract:
The North Carolina Division of Soil and Water Conservation and North Carolina’s Natural Resources Conservation Service have developed a plan for reducing nutrient and sediment loading from agriculture in the Lower Neuse by targeting ten priority watersheds. The ten watersheds were identified as having the greatest potential for nonpoint source pollution and nutrient reduction at the least cost.

Abstract:
The release of more than a million gallons of dairy waste which killed most of the fish and aquatic life in a section of the Neuse River in November points up a significant potential for pollution. This was the worst fish kill ever attributed to an animal waste spill in the state. The cities of Goldsboro and Smithfield were advised not to draw drinking water from the Neuse for several days.

Abstract:
On October 24, the Neuse River Foundation notified the United States Environmental Protection Agency that it intends to sue the Agency for not requiring North Carolina to set total maximum daily loads for pollutants that are degrading the lower Neuse River and other streams. The Agency is already dealing with many citizen suits regarding the Clean Water Act. Trevor Clements, a former state regulator, discusses the need for flexible strategies in basin-wide planning.

Abstract:
Because of toxic algae, fish kills, and pollution in the Neuse River, the North Carolina General Assembly in 1995, mandated that cities and towns along the river reduce nitrogen content of their wastewater 30 percent by 2003. Sixteen towns formed the Lower Neuse River Basin Association to meet the challenge. Hajian describes how the association met the goal earlier, by January 2001.

Abstract:
A North Carolina State University project that measured nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment exports from six different land uses in Wake County in the Upper Neuse River Basin, found that nitrogen exports were typically greater than those in previously published reports. Researchers also found that rainfall in the drainage basins contained significant concentrations of nitrogen that often accounted for a considerable portion of the total nitrogen export from all land uses. The export rates illustrate the increase in pollutant associated with development and emphasize the need for implementing best management practices in developed areas.

Abstract:
American Rivers, a national conservation organization, listed North Carolina’s Neuse River as the seventh most endangered river in the United States. They blamed hog and poultry industries for contaminating the waters. Advocates are urging legislators to restore a voluntary buyout program so that water resources can recover.

Abstract:
The Neuse River Foundation was formed in 1980 by New Bern area citizens concerned over the health of the Neuse River. It is a model for eco- activism. Among its approaches are hiring a river keeper and taking legal action to ensure polluters obey the law.

Abstract:
Marine scientists believe that agriculture is responsible for most of the nitrogen pollution flowing into the Neuse River. They are working on a model that shows how an individual farm operation affects the ecosystem, and measures how policies influence people’s behavior.
