Abstract:
The North Carolina Division of Soil and Water Conservation and North Carolina’s Natural Resources Conservation Service have developed a plan for reducing nutrient and sediment loading from agriculture in the Lower Neuse by targeting ten priority watersheds. The ten watersheds were identified as having the greatest potential for nonpoint source pollution and nutrient reduction at the least cost.

Abstract:
Eighty-four more cities and urbanized counties in North Carolina and all construction sites larger than one acre will be required to get permits and manage storm water runoff under rules proposed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in January. The Phase II Storm Water regulations will expand the national program to regulate storm water discharges as point sources under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).

Abstract:
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have concluded their assessment of North Carolina’s Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program and how well it conforms to regulatory requirements. The state’s program was given “conditional approval” and will have five years to meet their conditions.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development and the North Carolina Association of Soil and Water Districts will request funding to further expand the Agricultural Cost Share Program for Nonpoint Source Pollution Control. The program helps farmers with the costs of implementing farm conservation practices aimed at reducing the input of agricultural nonpoint source pollution into water courses.

Abstract:
Nine counties in North Carolina have provided financial support for ten technicians to help implement agricultural best management practices for nonpoint source pollution controls. The counties are among those in the Falls, Jordan, and Chowan River Watersheds where farmers are eligible to receive cost-share assistance from state appropriations for practices to reduce agricultural nonpoint source pollution.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Agricultural Cost Share Program for Nonpoint Source Pollution Control, which provides farmers up to seventy-five-percent of the cost of implementing conservation practices to reduce agricultural pollution of water bodies, was initiated in 1985 in sixteen counties in nutrient-sensitive watersheds. The program has produced both environmental and economic benefits, and is expanding to include additional counties.

Abstract:
The National Water Quality Evaluation Project is a major effort to monitor and evaluate results from agricultural non-point source water quality projects. The program is based at North Carolina State University and sponsored by a cooperative agreement among environmental and agricultural agencies. The program aims to develop best management practices and non-point source water quality control.

Abstract:
Although nonpoint pollution (pollution not originating in a pipe) has such sources as mining, construction, and failing septic tanks, it took pollution spillage from collapsed hog waste lagoons to dramatize the need for closer management of this problem.

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 required by Section 319 of the Water Quality Act of 1987, North Carolina has compiled and submitted two nonpoint source (NPS) assessment reports. The reports identify navigable waters of the state impacted by nonpoint source pollution, and lays out plans to control the pollution. The Division of Environmental Management applied to the Environmental Protection Agency for funds to implement water control programs.

Abstract:
North Carolina's proposed new drinking water, watershed protection rules are being reviewed by the North Carolina Citizens for Business and Industry. The rules would focus on non-point source pollution and restrict commercial and industrial development in more than one-quarter of the state's lands.
