2021 Water Quality Compliance Workshop

The North Carolina Water Quality Compliance Workshop is being conducted online in 2021 to avoid mass gathering in the midst of Coronavirus Pandemic conditions. The event provides an COVID-free setting to meet state regulatory personnel and discuss permitting and compliance matters that may impact your operations in the coming year.

The staffs of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR) and Division of Energy Mining and Land Resources (DEMLR) will help you understand the laws, regulations and Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) expectations to help your organization develop the most effective compliance strategies and control costs.

The agenda provides plenty of time for questions during each presentation. Attendees with specific questions prior to the workshop can also submit those questions anonymously to NCMA to be included in the day's discussions.

You will have the opportunity to submit any questions for the workshop, when registering online.
