January 19, 2025. In March 2022, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission (EMC) adopted a numerical water quality standard for a toxic chemical called 1,4-dioxane. The water quality standard would have established the safe level of 1,4-dioxane in rivers, lakes and streams used as a drinking water source. The standard would also become the benchmark for setting permit limits on wastewater treatment plant discharges of 1,4-dioxane to those waters.
