About the On-Site Water Protection Branch

The On-Site Water Protection Branch of the Environmental Health Section:

We develop and implement new, revised or amended statewide regulations. We provide statewide regulatory and consultative services to:

  • Local health departments
  • Builders, developers and landowners
  • System installers and operators
  • Well drillers and engineers
  • Soil scientists and geologists
  • Environmental health consultants and others

We do not deal with surface applications of treated wastewater, treated wastewater discharged directly into surface waters or public water supplies as defined in 15A NCAC 18C (PDF) (i.e. those serving restaurants, churches, and medical facilities).
