Tracking regulatory changes is a key component of maintaining environmental compliance. The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) is the environmental regulatory agency in North Carolina. In addition, a non-regulatory agency, the Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance, exists to aide organizations in preventing pollution.

The resources below are provided to help companies stay up to date with regulatory changes. If major regulatory changes are going to affect the RTP area, Environment@RTP will often bring guest speakers to RTP to discuss the issue. Check the News and Events section of our website for upcoming speakers.
