Abstract:
The North Carolina General Assembly passed legislation during the 1989 session that entrusted the regulation of minimal environmental standards of watersheds to local governments. The goal of this legislation is to protect surface water supplies from pollution by managing development densities, allowable land use, industrial and residential discharge, and chemical qualities of the water. Since adoption of this legislation, many local governments are turning to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for watershed identification and management.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development may be scheduling public hearings on surface water reclassification requests in the first half of 1989. Some communities have requested a more protective classification of existing water supplies. Others have asked that surface waters now classified for recreation, trout, or other uses be reclassified so that they can be used for public water supplies.

Abstract:
A study of water quality problems in the nation’s streams and rivers has revealed that the worst problems are caused by nonpoint source pollution. In response, the Environmental Protection Agency shifted responsibility for pollution control from federal to state programs. North Carolina has already made substantial progress in assessing water pollution problems, and is soliciting public comments on watershed priorities.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management’s Water Quality Section is preparing to implement a river-basin wide strategy for protecting surface water quality. The strategy will integrate information from water quality and biological monitoring, wastewater discharge permitting, and nonpoint source pollution control efforts to give regulators a complete picture of water quality conditions in each of the state’s river basins.

Abstract:
Jim Clark is the president of Save the Water, a Durham-based coalition of conservationists. Clark and the group are lobbying for watershed protection measures in the Triangle area. The area water supply is polluted and at further risk due to booming growth in the area. Clark proposed the “Triangle Express,” a light-rail system, that would be less harmful to the area watershed than the proposed highway thoroughfare plan that would send roads and spur growth in the Falls Lake watershed area.

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.

Abstract:
At its May 9 meeting, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission approved holding public hearings on the proposed classifications of water supply watersheds across the state. The classification determines the kinds of protective measures that must be put into place by local governments with jurisdiction in the watershed. The public hearing process gives citizens an opportunity to comment on the proposed classification.
