The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ), on behalf of the Environmental Management Commission (EMC), announces a comment period for the draft North Carolina Nutrient Criteria Development Plan (NC NCDP). Comments on the draft plan may be submitted in writing by mail or email anytime through May 24, 2013 using the contact information provided below. A copy of the draft NC NCDP can be found through the following link: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ps/mtu/nutrientcriteria.
The draft NC NCDP provides an overview of nutrient criteria related activities within the state since 2001 and describes actions that the state will take to develop additional nutrient control criteria. The NC NCDP directs a series of prioritized tasks (or studies), each of which will be targeted at development of nutrient criteria and includes questions to be answered, methods to be used and timelines and milestones to be met. The US Environmental Protection Agency has requested the development of this plan. Upon approval by the EMC, the NC NCDP will be submitted to the Agency for mutual agreement.
