Abstract:

In 1998, North Carolina’s Department of Transportation (DOT) became the first to receive a state-issued statewide stormwater permit. Under the mandate of this permit, a research program was launched to provide needed information on pollutant loading from highway runoff on surface waters. DOT expects that within two years, it will have a database that will allow characterization of runoff from various kinds of highways across the state.

Abstract:

Under a tentative agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency on a total maximum daily load (TMDL) for total nitrogen in the Neuse River Estuary, North Carolina will consider initiating a new round of rulemaking for the Neuse River Basin. New rules could be adopted by the end of 2001, depending on water quality assessments.
