Abstract:
In a research project submitted to the National Fire Academy as part of the Executive Fire Officer Program, Raleigh Assistant Fire Chief Earl F. Fowler recommends that municipal fire officials prepare themselves and their cities to make decisions that can avert environmental disaster in the case of large scale fire suppression operations. Fowler says the City of Raleigh and fire departments across the state need to develop policy and procedures to protect local water ways from pollution by fire-fighting runoff water.

Abstract:
Riparian buffers, or wide strips of vegetation along stream and river banks, are effective filters in keeping pollutants from reaching the water. They also control erosion and attract wildlife. One of the most aggressive water pollution plans is a state-mandated one requiring retention of 50-foot-wide buffers on all Neuse River Basin streams.

Abstract:
Following recent drought conditions, many North Carolina communities are developing water conservation plans and identifying backup water sources. Increasing development in some mountain watersheds is resulting in hydrologic changes, including increasing storm water runoff, erosion and sediment transport, unstable streambanks, and loss of flood plains. These changes will result in more frequent floods with greater impacts to low-lying communities.
