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.
