Abstract:

Riparian buffers along streams filter out large amounts of pollution before it reaches streams. Many Neuse River Basin landowners are protesting a temporary rule requiring them to have 50-foot buffers along streams. Champion International Corp., however, voluntarily is leaving 200-foot buffers on thirty-two miles of Upper Tar River Basin streams. The corporation is asking landowners to do likewise.
