Abstract:
According to a special report to the Raleigh City Council, the recently enacted state ban on phosphate detergent has improved the phosphate-removal efficiency of the city’s Neuse River Wastewater Treatment Plant and has had an immediate positive impact on water quality in the Neuse River. Additional studies by environmental consultants also show improvements to the phosphate-removal efficiency of wastewater treatment facilities in Greensboro and Durham.

Abstract:
An ad hoc committee set up by the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission to review proposed state water quality standards has recommended that the Division of Environmental Management proceed with adoption of most of the new standards. Public hearings are scheduled in May and are the last step before regulations are finalized. The new standards pertain to water pollution, wastewater treatment, and municipal water supplies.

Abstract:
North Carolina communities are acting to protect the streams and reservoirs they rely on for drinking water by requesting reclassification of their water supplies under the North Carolina Water Supply Protection Program. The new system has three water supply classes defined by the amount and types of permitted wastewater discharges and requirements for nonpoint source controls in the watershed. Various departments of State government are offering technical assistance, and land use and economic information.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission voted in January to classify the lower Neuse River Basin as nutrient sensitive waters. This decision makes the reduction of phosphorus mandatory at the municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities. Specific nutrient management strategies have been developed for point and nonpoint source control of nutrients.

Abstract:
State government in North Carolina has been helping localities protect their water supplies since 1888 when Raleigh enacted special legislation for the protection of Walnut Creek watershed. Since then, water treatment technology has improved water purification but more efforts are needed to protect undeveloped watersheds under multiple jurisdictions. This article provides recommendations for legislative and executive actions to watershed protection.

Abstract:
The Environmental Protection Agency is enforcing new standards for radionucleotides in response to requirements of the new Safe Drinking Water Act. Twenty-eight public and private water systems in North Carolina have been ordered to comply with radium standards. Research is being conducted on identification of radon in high-risk groundwater areas.

Abstract:
In March the Environmental Management Commission ruled that municipalities and industrial operations which discharge treated wastewater into Falls and Jordan Lakes must reduce phosphorus levels by 1990. Falls and Jordan Lakes were declared nutrient-sensitive in 1983, and stringent regulations were imposed to control the growth of algae in the lakes. A lower phosphorus standard will make it more feasible to employ biological, rather than chemical, methods to remove phosphorus.

Abstract:
Legislation was introduced in the North Carolina General Assembly to establish a commission to study the issue of watershed protection standards. The bill was prompted by concerns among Raleigh city officials about pollution threats to Falls Lake, the main source of drinking water for Raleigh and much of Wake County. The proposed commission would investigate the need for watershed development standards beyond a local basis.

Abstract:
Thirty North Carolina communities have expressed a desire to pursue a more protected water supply classification under the new system adopted by the Environmental Management Commission in December. The new system gives greater attention to reducing chemical contaminants that may be the source of chronic diseases. It also increases the level of activity by local governments.

Abstract:
A report released by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management in June offers a detailed assessment of freshwater toxicity of fluoride, sources of fluoride pollution, and the effects on the environment. The report will aid in the development of North Carolina water quality standards for toxicants.

Abstract:
A recent study of streams in the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County has found several violations of water quality standards but none that appear to present health risks or impair designated uses of the water. The study was conducted by the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior.

Abstract:
Forty-six community water systems monitored by the North Carolina Division of Health Services have naturally occurring levels of radium high enough to violate drinking water standards for groundwater supplies. Operators of these non-compliant water systems must develop a remedial action plan to bring the water supply into compliance with regulatory standards. Several options are discussed in this article.
