Abstract:
Strom discusses concerns of state regulators with the public water treatment system in Chatham County. The water treatment plant draws water from Lake Jordan. The plant has racked up new regulatory violations, is the subject of a critical report by a state intervention team, and faces a possible $300-a-day fine for staffing inadequacies.

Abstract:
Asphalt plants in Durham are required to be 1,500 feet from where people live. However, a plan to build ten new plants and reduce the distance to homes to 600 feet almost got to the city council for a vote before citizens found out about it. The plants would also be built in Durham's poorer, inner city communities. Strom discusses how behind-the-scenes lobbying puts citizens at a disadvantage in cases like this and how citizens are reacting to the plan.

Abstract:
Strom discusses the effect the controversial Briar Chapel development project will have on northeastern Chatham County. First rejected in 2002, the project recently won approval from the Chatham County commissioners. Approximately 1,600 acres of mostly undisturbed woodlands and pastures will be used. Construction of 2,400 homes for 6,000 new residents, along with three commercial centers, is planned for the next decade. When completed, the new community will have roughly the population of Siler City, the county's largest community now.
