Abstract:

In December 1992, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission adopted revisions to rules governing waste treatment systems that do not discharge to surface waters. The rules require that animal production operations above specified sizes file with the Division of Environmental Management certification that they have obtained and implemented approved plans for managing their waste.

Revisions to the rules would essentially ease clean-up requirements and abandon the state’s nondegradation policy.
