Abstract:
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management revised their 1985 report on animal operations and water quality to include recommendations that could bring about an increase in the number of North Carolina animal operations designated “concentrated” and thereby potentially subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit regulations. The recommended changes would also result in better data for determining the impact animal operations have on the state’s water quality.

North Carolina residents are recognizing that stormwater runoff from coastal development or soil erosion can cause serious pollution problems. However, there is less public understanding of how urban stormwater runoff contributes to degradation of water quality across the state. The issue of urban stormwater management for water quality purposes presses the need for regulations and legislative revisions.

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.
