Description: This bill would require all discharge pipes to be labeled with who the pipe belongs to and who to call if there is a problem. This is a small ask but would go a long way to improve monitoring and drastically speed up response time for when/if emergencies at the discharge site occur.
What Catawba Riverkeeper Says: Having wastewater discharges labeled will greatly help the public know who is discharging into our waters and who to call in the event of a problem or emergency with the pipe.

Bill Status: Currently with the Senate Agriculture committee, has a subcommittee hearing scheduled for Wednesday, March 13 at noon.
What You Can Do: Look up your State Senator here and send them an email, introducing yourself, saying what road you live off, that you are a constituent, and that you support transparency between wastewater dischargers and the public!
