Abstract:
In its latest biennial report on water quality in North Carolina, the Water Quality Section of the Division of Environmental Management reports that sixty-four-percent of the state’s streams and rivers fully support their recreational uses. Agricultural runoff is identified as the most widespread contributor to stream degradation across most of the state. Other sources of pollution are summarized in this article.

Abstract:
In a study designed to support ongoing implementation of the Tar-Pamlico River Basin Nutrient Management Strategy and its nutrient trading program, scientists at the Center for Environmental Analysis at Research Triangle Institute suggest that targeting efforts to control agricultural nonpoint pollution at specific sources offers the best opportunities for reducing nutrient loading to the river. They suggest focusing on small land areas rather than whole counties or watersheds.

Abstract:
As the swine industry continues to expand in North Carolina, questions have arisen about the ability of current animal waste management practices to protect surface waters from pollution by nitrogen from increasing volumes of swine waste. Dr. Stephen Whalen of the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill is conducting research aimed at identifying best management practices that will promote the conversion of complex nitrogen compounds in swine waste to benign dinitrogen gas.
