Abstract:
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission is struggling to design a program that will not involve direct mandate to counties but will still comply with requirements of the federal NPDES Stormwater Phase II program. In North Carolina, drainage systems along roadways in unincorporated areas are owned by the Department of Transportation. This type of ownership does not align with the language mandated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and consequently, has brought a legal challenge to implementing stormwater management programs.

Abstract:
The United States Environmental Protection Agency’s new “Information Collection Rule” is likely to mean at least two-million-dollars in monitoring, laboratory and reporting costs and pilot programs for North Carolina’s large water utilities over the next few years. The new rule convened in 1992 to address limits on disinfection by-products, which are suspected in drinking water, and create new requirements for removing microbial contaminants from poor-quality surface waters.
