Abstract:
A study for the North Carolina Coastal Resources Commission in1988 showed less than 12,000 acres of maritime forest remaining in North Carolina and found most of it in private ownership. The study predicted that at the current rate of development on barrier islands, most of the privately owned maritime forests would be destroyed or significantly altered in the next decade. Recommendations include developing local ordinances to protect the forests or acquire tracts of the forest.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission’s Water Quality Committee developed a proposal for a new supplemental stream classification. The proposal is considered as the first step in an approach to improve the status of impaired coastal waters. A conceptual model was developed in response to pollution problems in the South River which have led to closure of almost all the river to shellfishing.

Abstract:
The United States Environmental Protection Agency’s new “Information Collection Rule” is likely to mean at least two-million-dollars in monitoring, laboratory and reporting costs and pilot programs for North Carolina’s large water utilities over the next few years. The new rule convened in 1992 to address limits on disinfection by-products, which are suspected in drinking water, and create new requirements for removing microbial contaminants from poor-quality surface waters.
