Abstract:
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission adopted legislative proposals and a “green” budget, which includes funding for efforts to restore water quality in the Neuse River. The goal is to reduce and hold the line on nitrogen loading in a river basin where a rapid increase in human and animal populations shows no signs of abating. Recommendations include restoration of riparian buffers and wetlands.
