orestry
operations in North Carolina must comply with the forest practice guidelines for
water quality under the state Sedimentation
Pollution Control Act. The
guidelines are designed to prevent sediment and chemicals from entering streams
or other water bodies during a forestry operation. Compliance with these
provisions is generally considered adequate to meet federal nonpoint source
pollution requirements under the Coastal Zone Management Act and the Clean Water
Act. The state Division of Forest Resources is charged with technical oversight
and implementation.
