Abstract:

Because of toxic algae, fish kills, and pollution in the Neuse River, the North Carolina General Assembly in 1995, mandated that cities and towns along the river reduce nitrogen content of their wastewater 30 percent by 2003. Sixteen towns formed the Lower Neuse River Basin Association to meet the challenge. Hajian describes how the association met the goal earlier, by January 2001.
