The Neuse River was named as one of America’s Most Endangered Rivers of 2007. Learn more: http://www.americanrivers.org/endangeredrivers
*Summary*
It would be hard to match the damage done to the waters of the Neuse River by massive hog operations in the watershed, but if developers get their way, human sewage, stormwater runoff and habitat destruction could earn that dubious distinction. With sprawling coastal development creeping inland and urban growth in the headwaters, the Neuse is the new frontier for poorly planned development. The North Carolina Division of Water Quality must tackle the issue; otherwise human sewage, polluted runoff and other municipal pollution will soon present a problem as serious as runoff from factory hog operations.

Forget about this river being cleaned while Bush and Cheney are in office. The EPA is powerless and is a political organization under these criminals.

That is because either these are the kids of libs who have moved here recently from somewhere else, or kids from somewhere else acting as stand-ins for local kids.
Liberals and Progressives can’t stand our accent, and make fun of the way we talk.

Nice work! I lived …
Nice work! I lived in New Bern for a while and was quite aware of the sad state the Neuse. The real hit came when I was at a beech sweep. There were some guys from the EPA on the trip. Just out of curiosity, I asked about the Neuse and its health.
I quote “I thank God every day, I’m not working on the Neuse River water basin.” I asked with horror, why? “It is too long, runs too slowly and passes way to many town and cities.”….. more
