Abstract:
Riparian buffers, or wide strips of vegetation along stream and river banks, are effective filters in keeping pollutants from reaching the water. They also control erosion and attract wildlife. One of the most aggressive water pollution plans is a state-mandated one requiring retention of 50-foot-wide buffers on all Neuse River Basin streams.

Abstract:
North Carolina is the home of considerably abundant water resources, including several substantial watersheds across the state. With increasing use of these resources for industry and growing populations, the state has become increasingly aware of the need to carry out careful management of its water resources.

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:
The North Carolina Agricultural Cost Share Program for Nonpoint Source Pollution Control, which provides farmers up to seventy-five-percent of the cost of implementing conservation practices to reduce agricultural pollution of water bodies, was initiated in 1985 in sixteen counties in nutrient-sensitive watersheds. The program has produced both environmental and economic benefits, and is expanding to include additional counties.

Abstract:
After receiving a report on water supply and use in the Eno River Area, the Environmental Management Commission instructed the Division of Environmental Management to hold public hearings on the need to designate the Eno River Area a Capacity Use Area. The designation would enable water-use allocations and regulations for the area.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, established in 1977, has implemented one of the first fully operational state geographic information systems (GIS) in the United States. This rapidly evolving state GIS is crucial to many of North Carolina’s recent water quality protection initiatives. The center produced maps that will aid in implementing the state’s watershed protection program, and has detailed data layers which can highlight specific issues.

Abstract:
At its March meeting, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission denied a request from the Town of Boiling Springs to reclassify a portion of Sandy Run Creek in Cleveland and Rutherford counties for water supply. It was the first time the commission has denied a request for reclassification to water supply purposes.

Abstract:
A state law that went into effect last October requires all persons withdrawing one-million gallons per day or more of surface or ground water to register with the North Carolina Division of Water Resources. The new law also requires registration for any transfer of one-million gallons or more between any of the state’s thirty-eight river basins.

Abstract:
In a research project submitted to the National Fire Academy as part of the Executive Fire Officer Program, Raleigh Assistant Fire Chief Earl F. Fowler recommends that municipal fire officials prepare themselves and their cities to make decisions that can avert environmental disaster in the case of large scale fire suppression operations. Fowler says the City of Raleigh and fire departments across the state need to develop policy and procedures to protect local water ways from pollution by fire-fighting runoff water.

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:
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.
