Abstract:
Several major cities in North Carolina and the Water Resources Research Institute have formed a new cooperative research venture called the Urban Water Consortium. Toxic chemicals and nutrients in wastewaters from municipalities will be high-priority issues, and a variety of other problems in urban water management will also be investigated.

Abstract:
In areas of North Carolina designated as nutrient-sensitive waters the Environmental Management Commission requires phosphorus removal for new wastewater treatment facilities. These areas include the Chowan River Basin and the watershed area of the Falls of the Neuse Lake and the Jordan Lake.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Board of Science and Technology funded the development of “Pollution Prevention Pays” projects to prevent the discharge of wastewater pollutants. Detailed case studies are provided for successful applications of pollution-prevention approaches by twenty-five North Carolina corporations and municipalities.

Abstract:
A survey of state regulatory agencies was conducted in 1983 by the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering. The survey showed a trend toward increased use of seasonal discharge standards by state water pollution control agencies, and that they planned to use some degree of flexibility in standards for municipal and industrial discharges.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Human Resources’ Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Branch published a report on managing contaminated ground water in 1984. The report includes case studies of companies that have changed the way they handle their hazardous wastes, and discusses the existence of groundwater in the five hydrogeologic regions of North Carolina.

Abstract:
Wastewater discharges resulting from poor, impermeable soil conditions present a significant challenge to water resources and public health in North Carolina. The state’s Environmental Management Commission is examining a range of issues regarding permits, maintenance, and treatment of wastewater discharge systems.

Abstract:
North Carolina is formulating a strategy for assisting municipalities in financing construction of water and sewer facilities. According to Mary Joan Pugh, assistant secretary for the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, the state will propose the establishment of a revolving loan fund for local governments to construct new wastewater treatment facilities.

Abstract:
Scientists at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill made recommendations for biologically controlling phosphorus releases from the wastewater treatment plant operated by the Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA). The Division of Environmental Management will soon issue regulations limiting phosphorus concentrations in discharges from municipal wastewater treatment facilities into streams feeding nutrient sensitive water bodies.

Abstract:
A two-year research project sponsored by the Water Resources Research Institute is aimed at developing a procedure for identifying toxic chemicals in effluent from municipal waste water treatment plants. Researchers hope to establish a standard procedure which can be widely used for wastewater discharge monitoring and control.

Abstract:
In March the Environmental Management Commission ruled that municipalities and industrial operations which discharge treated wastewater into Falls and Jordan Lakes must reduce phosphorus levels by 1990. Falls and Jordan Lakes were declared nutrient-sensitive in 1983, and stringent regulations were imposed to control the growth of algae in the lakes. A lower phosphorus standard will make it more feasible to employ biological, rather than chemical, methods to remove phosphorus.

Abstract:
The North Carolina gave final approval on April 29 to a bill banning the sale and use of household phosphate detergents. Supporters of the ban believe it will help curb algae growth in nutrient-sensitive rivers and lakes by reducing the amount of phosphorus in wastewater discharges. The ban will also help to reduce operational costs at water treatment plants.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission is considering recommendations to declare the entire Neuse River basin as a nutrient-sensitive watershed. The recommendation is aimed at combatting the causes of algae infestations in the lower Neuse River and reducing nutrient loading of the Pamlico Sound. The nutrient-sensitive designation would enable limits to be imposed on the amount of phosphorus in wastewater discharges into the watershed.

Abstract:
Edward J. Kuenzler, professor of environmental biology at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, conducted a study of two North Carolina swamps receiving municipal effluent. The study was funded by the Water Resources Research Institute and provides recommendations for long-term management of swamps and natural treatment of wastewater effluent.

Abstract:
North Carolina communities are acting to protect the streams and reservoirs they rely on for drinking water by requesting reclassification of their water supplies under the North Carolina Water Supply Protection Program. The new system has three water supply classes defined by the amount and types of permitted wastewater discharges and requirements for nonpoint source controls in the watershed. Various departments of State government are offering technical assistance, and land use and economic information.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission voted in January to classify the lower Neuse River Basin as nutrient sensitive waters. This decision makes the reduction of phosphorus mandatory at the municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities. Specific nutrient management strategies have been developed for point and nonpoint source control of nutrients.
