Regulatory control of most pollutants is focused on point sources under the jurisdiction of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, whereas sediments and turbidity are regulated nonpoint source pollutants based largely on controls established by the North Carolina Division of Land Resources. This article discusses the major obstacles in sedimentation and erosion control.

Abstract:
North Carolina is widely acknowledged to have one of the nation’s best regulatory programs to prevent environmental damage from erosion and sedimentation leaving construction sites. However, as the state rapidly grows, the program needs to be improved by tighter standards, more aggressive enforcement, more technical assistance, and an infusion of resources. The Sediment Control Commission is reviewing standards and evaluating program needs in preparation for the next legislative session.

Among the recommendations are changes for self-monitoring and recordkeeping, site risk assessment, and a rapid response team.
