Abstract:
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission’s Water Quality Committee developed a proposal for a new supplemental stream classification. The proposal is considered as the first step in an approach to improve the status of impaired coastal waters. A conceptual model was developed in response to pollution problems in the South River which have led to closure of almost all the river to shellfishing.
