Abstract:
North Carolina residents are recognizing that stormwater runoff from coastal development or soil erosion can cause serious pollution problems. However, there is less public understanding of how urban stormwater runoff contributes to degradation of water quality across the state. The issue of urban stormwater management for water quality purposes presses the need for regulations and legislative revisions.

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:
The North Carolina gave final approval on April 29 to a bill banning the sale and use of household phosphate detergents. Supporters of the ban believe it will help curb algae growth in nutrient-sensitive rivers and lakes by reducing the amount of phosphorus in wastewater discharges. The ban will also help to reduce operational costs at water treatment plants.
