Abstract:
The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that $80-$90 billion will have to be spent over the next twenty years to solve the nation’s sewer overflow problem. In July 1998, North Carolina began implementing new enforcement initiatives aimed at preventing sewer overflows. A new systemwide permit program will require sewer operators to adhere to design construction and performance standards.
