NC Supreme Court Rules Against Trout and Water Quality
- "In a loss for N.C. trout, water quality and sportsmen, the N.C. Supreme Court [on August 27th] ruled six to one that a country club golf course's razing of forested buffer areas along sensitive trout streams and permanent enclosure of a N.C. mountain stream within a pipe was allowed despite a state law requiring "undisturbed" buffers to protect trout streams and water quality, according to the Southern Environmental Law Center. The Supreme Court decision reversed an earlier N.C. Appeals Court decision that a golf course constructed at Mountain Air Country Club in Yancey County violated state buffer requirements for trout streams." - excerpt from the web site of the Southern Environmental Law Center.
