 Southern Enviornmental Law Center - Clean Water: Neuse River (NC)
The North Carolina Division of Water Quality surrendered to a challenge brought by the Southern Environmental Law Center and rescinded a permit that would have allowed the town of Butner to significantly increase its pollution into already sensitive waters of Falls Lake - the water supply source for much of the Triangle.
This increased discharge was to capitalize on a "trade" of pollution credits that reallocated accepted pollution amounts from the Bay River estuary to the town of Butner, nearly 200 miles upstream.
SELC represented the Neuse River Foundation in successfully challenging the modified permit approved by the Division of Water Quality, which was approved without legally required public review and violated the regulatory limit on nitrogen allowed in Falls Lake.

The white population was now about five thousand; Albemarle settlement had extended many miles into the forest; this involved encroachment on the soil of the native red man--and it brought its troubles.

The aggrading forests of the southeastern United States have some of the highest rates of carbon (C) sequestration in the world.

The project will focus on the Upper Neuse River Basin (UNRB) of North Carolina because of the availability of hierarchical land cover classification data, long streamflow records, and intensively measured plot level data.
