Abstract:
The wetlands at UNC’s Bingham Facility have been polluted. The facility is facing many violations after storage ponds leaked, pipes broke, and hazardous chemicals were detected in the wastewater treatement system. Neighbors notified regulators of their concerns and UNC appears to have built their wastewater system over wetlands without state and federal permits. The violations will carry a fine if UNC does not offer an explanation and a plan to restore the wetlands or if they do not receive a permit allowing them to ignore the policies.

Abstract:
The General Assembly created the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program in 1996 to repair degraded wetland areas and create new areas to compensate for losses. About two-thirds of North Carolina’s remaining wetlands and associated floodplains and riparian areas are privately owned. For that reason, private landowners will largely determine the success of the wetland restoration program.
