Abstract:

Several studies in North Carolina are exploring the use of wetlands to aid in the removal of nutrients in municipal wastewater. The results of the studies are expected to have important implications for managers who permit discharges from municipal wastewater treatment facilities and package treatment plants.

Abstract:

PSC Phosphate, Inc., has applied to the Army Corps of Engineers for a Clean Water Act Section 404 permit to impact and fill wetlands and waters of the state for the purpose of continuing their mining operations along South Creek in eastern Beaufort County. A similar grant that allowed the company to impact over 1,200 acres of wetlands in 1997 resulted in the largest permitted destruction of wetlands in the history of the state. If the new permit is granted, the Pamlico River basin would lose 2,500 acres of high-quality wetlands.

Abstract:

Due to a recent federal district court decision, it will be more difficult for developers to take over forested wetlands. The court held that some clearing activities were in violation of the Clean Water Act.

Abstract:

Storm water regulations are hard to enforce. However, the city of Smithfield has found a way to do it through wetlands with great success. It has helped not only the storm water pollution, but the community as well.

Abstract:

Wetlands in North Carolina are important and productive environments that provide people with a number of benefits. The federal government is inadvertently subsidizing the destruction of these habitats through the National Flood Insurance Program. Government insurance encourages development in areas inhabited by wildlife.

Abstract:

The General Assembly passed a regulatory reform bill removing environmental protections from isolated wetlands that are under one acre in size. The bill will benefit coastal developers and lessen regulations for polluters. Wetlands store water, provide habitat for endangered species, and reduce flooding during tropical storms. Additional effects on wetlands are explored.

Abstract:

The public is slow in awakening to the value of wetlands. These coastal saltwater marshes are among the state's most important natural resources. Once they are lost, they are irreplaceable. Already many wetlands have been converted to housing developments, marinas, dumps, and other manmade structures. Taormina discusses wetlands for their importance in marine and wildlife habitats, erosion control, education, and psychological value.

Abstract:

Researchers at North Carolina State University recommend that agricultural producers in coastal North Carolina continue to use wetlands to filter sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus from water drained from agricultural fields despite evidence that artificial flooding will change the nature of wetland forests. Their recent studies suggest some guidelines for more effectively using wetland buffers to remove pollutants from agricultural drainage.

Abstract:

Waterfowl depend on water. They nest on water, raise their young there, and feed in or near water. Without suitable nesting and wintering sites, waterfowl will not survive. Between 1940 and 1964, over forty-five million acres of wetlands were drained throughout the country. Protection of wetlands is vital to waterfowl survival. A major goal of waterfowl management is to blunt the impact of man's activities on ducks and geese. Poole discusses what has been done in the past, what is being done today, and what wildlife agencies hope to do in the future, and why.
