About the Triennial Review of NC's Groundwater Standards

For the most part, the changes made during this round of Triennial Amendments are positive: they have added a few key standards and improved some that needed to be adjusted to more stringent, up-to-date levels.

However, there are also some concerning amendments, especially related to the use of “practical quantitation limits” or reporting limits as many labs call them, that are significantly HIGHER (ie, weaker) than the actual health based standard proposed.

It is likely that the State will receive comments mostly from municipalities and industries that OBJECT to the new, more stringent standards, so your statement of support for these proposed new standards could be at least as important as any concerns that you express about other issues.

Thanks in advance. I greatly appreciate your attention to protecting the Neuse River Basin!

Cheers,
