Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development may be scheduling public hearings on surface water reclassification requests in the first half of 1989. Some communities have requested a more protective classification of existing water supplies. Others have asked that surface waters now classified for recreation, trout, or other uses be reclassified so that they can be used for public water supplies.

Abstract:
While the state feels it is doing a good job of water-quality protection, a top-ten EPA rating on pollutants released into the ecosystem causes environmentalists and citizens groups to question the state's support of anti-pollution regulations.

Abstract:
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:
Aggressive legislation improved water and air quality over the last twenty-five years so that it now exceeds or meets strict Federal standards. To achieve even greater results, more serious attention needs to be given to non-point source pollution.

Abstract:
A study of water quality problems in the nation’s streams and rivers has revealed that the worst problems are caused by nonpoint source pollution. In response, the Environmental Protection Agency shifted responsibility for pollution control from federal to state programs. North Carolina has already made substantial progress in assessing water pollution problems, and is soliciting public comments on watershed priorities.

Abstract:
To resolve disagreement about stringent limitations on toxic substances in North Carolina’s streams and rivers, the Environmental Management Commission appointed a committee to review the state’s proposed new in-stream water quality standards prior to taking the standards to public hearing. The dispute about state standards reflects widespread controversy about both analytical detection limits and public risk-benefit perception.

Abstract:
On February 11, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission approved holding public hearings on proposed changes to the rules that govern cleanup of contaminated groundwater. The proposed amendments represent a significant change from present practice since they would not always require the application of best available technology to restore groundwater to the level of the standard.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission voted not to proceed to public hearings with a recommendation to weaken the state’s instream limit on dioxin. Dioxin is a by-product of chlorine bleaching which has caused cancer and reproductive abnormalities in laboratory animals. The vote came in response to a request by paper companies, which contend that new information indicates the cancer potency of dioxin is not as great as previously thought, and that they still cannot meet the effluent limitations the state standard imposes.

Abstract:
In February, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission will consider a request to hold public hearings on proposed revisions of the state’s groundwater classifications and standards. Revisions to the rules would essentially ease clean-up requirements and abandon the state’s nondegradation policy.
