Abstract:
In North Carolina, where sanitary sewers are separate from sewers that carry stormwater, wastewater treatment capacity has not been a priority issue because only extreme rainfall events might threaten treatment capacity. A proposed Environmental Protection Agency policy would allow wastewater blending of primary and secondary treatments as long as permit limits are met. North Carolina does not currently have a blending policy, but may consider a policy that would recognize varying circumstances statewide.

Abstract:
At the March 11, 2004 meeting of the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission, complaints were filed against the NPDES Stormwater Phase II rules rejected by the Rules Review Commission (RRC). The implications of the RRC action mean that North Carolina has failed to meet federal requirements to adopt procedures for state designation of owners and operators of storm sewer systems that must obtain permits.
