About The 2019 Water Quality Workshop

Join us for the 15th Annual North Carolina Water Quality Compliance Workshop co-sponsored by the North Carolina Manufacturers Alliance (NCMA) and the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR).

The 2019 Workshop offers an informal setting to meet state regulatory personnel and discuss permitting and compliance matters that may impact your operations in 2019. 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 DEQ expectations that will help your organization develop the most effective compliance strategies and control costs.

The 2019 Workshop will introduce both experienced and entry level attendees to the topics likely to be the most important for achieving and maintaining compliance in the upcoming year. This year’s agenda consists of topics selected by the DEQ personnel as well as topics requested by last year's attendees.

The agenda provides plenty of time for questions during each presentation as well as during breaks and lunch. Attendees with specific questions prior to the workshop can also submit those questions to NCMA. NCMA will then provide the questions to DWR staff anonymously so that they can address the questions during the Workshop.

To submit a question for the workshop, e-mail your question to donna.pittman@myNCMA.org.
